Survivors of colorectal cancer can experience a range of issues from the disease and its treatment, including ongoing side effects, emotional, psychological, and practical concerns. Patients frequently report a greater need for more information and greater support. In Australia, after completing treatment most patients have ongoing follow up with a cancer specialist that involves 3 monthly hospital visits in the first year. SCORE compared usual specialists follow-up care with a shared-cared (GP (General Practitioner) + Specialist) model to evaluate the acceptance and implementation of care coordination between community and hospital.
