Shared follow-up and survivorship are for women with low-risk endometrial cancer
Shared follow-up and survivorship care for low-risk endometrial cancer is designed for women who have completed active treatment for low-risk endometrial cancer. Shared care involves the joint participation of primary care and specialist teams in the planned delivery of patient care.
Cancer Australia has produced a wide range of guidance and resources to support health professionals to influence and support the uptake of shared follow-up and survivorship care for low-risk endometrial cancer.
