Disparities in receipt of follow-up care instructions among female adult cancer survivors: Results from a national survey

In our study, gynecologic cancer patients less frequently received follow-up instructions compared to breast cancer patients. Receipt of follow-up instructions also differed by demographic and lifestyle factors. The results provide evidence for the need of public health initiatives to increase the frequency of follow-up instructions for gynecologic cancer patients, which can potentially increase the rate of follow-up and improve long-term outcomes.
