ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors experience treatment-related late effects so guidelines recommend providing a treatment summary, yearly follow-up, and risk-adapted testing. AYA survivors' knowledge of surveillance follow-up was studied.RESULTS:
Survey responses for 73 AYAs were stratified low (0 to 1 correct; n=18; 24.7%) versus high knowledge (2 to 4 correct; n=55; 75.3%) of their required testing. Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores fell within average ranges for participant age ( T -scores 52.4 for physical function, 49.3 for anxiety, 46.3 for depression, and 44.7 for fatigue). Younger age at survivorship visit was a significant predictors of improved knowledge scores.CONCLUSION:
Despite attendance at a survivorship clinic, minority of participants (9.5%) demonstrated complete knowledge of surveillance testing needs. Most survivors are aware of some of their surveillance needs. PROMIS scores were not associated with surveillance knowledge.
