Led by Susan Hong, M.D., M.P.H, a board-certified internist with more than a decade of experience caring for the complex needs of cancer survivors, the Massey Survivorship Program focuses on comprehensive care coordination that empowers patients. All adult patients with cancer, regardless of stage, where they are in their cancer treatment plan or where they receive their cancer care, are eligible to be seen at Massey's Survivorship Clinic.
Since every patient is unique, we conduct an in-depth evaluation to address every aspect of your healthcare needs. The care we provide is coordinated with your cancer specialists and primary care provider. Elements of the care we provide include:
- Surveillance for cancer recurrence and new primary cancers
- Evaluation and management of treatment-related toxicities
- The assessment for genetic testing and ongoing surveillance for individuals with a hereditary cancer syndrome
- Counseling on cancer prevention and risk-reduction strategies
- Ensuring you are up to date with your other preventative health needs
In addition, if you are experiencing any negative social, financial or emotional impacts from your cancer diagnosis or treatment, we will connect you with Massey’s expansive list of cancer support services.
