Cancer Survivorship Center vs Cancer Survivorship Algorithms Usage & Stats

Survivorship algorithms depict best practices for care delivery by providing patient management tools to patients under surveillance for cancer recurrence and secondary cancers. Patients are transitioned to Survivorship once there is no evidence of disease for a specific time period dependent on the patient’s cancer site. These algorithms are not intended to replace the independent medical judgment of the physician in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care. Disclaimer: These algorithms have been developed for MD Anderson using a multidisciplinary approach considering circumstances particular to MD Anderson’s specific patient population, services and structure, and clinical information. This is not intended to replace the independent medical or professional judgment of physicians or other health care providers in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care. This algorithm should not be used to treat pregnant women.
