Your survivorship care plan

A summary of your treatment and future monitoring

Sources checked: September 2026

The short version

A survivorship care plan is a summary of the treatments you received and a plan for future monitoring — useful for you and any provider involved in your ongoing care.

A survivorship care plan typically summarizes the diagnosis, treatments received, and a recommended schedule for future monitoring and screening. It's a useful document to keep and share with any provider involved in your ongoing care, including a primary care doctor.

Not every care center automatically provides a written survivorship care plan — it's reasonable to ask for one if you haven't received it.

Questions you may want to ask

  • Can I get a written survivorship care plan?

  • What should my primary care doctor know going forward?
