Primary Care Engaged Research for Cancer Survivorship Care (PERCS) Initiative Promotes Comprehensive Care for Cancer Survivors

Despite more than 60% of cancer survivors seeing primary care clinicians, this care does not always include the full range of services people need during and after cancer (survivorship care). This special report describes the Primary Care Engaged Research for Cancer Survivorship Care (PERCS) initiative, a National Cancer Institute-funded umbrella of four system-level randomized controlled trials designed to improve how primary care clinicians deliver survivorship care to more than 18 million cancer survivors in the US. These four trials aim to develop and test primary care practice and health system–level interventions to promote comprehensive survivorship care for adult cancer survivors during and/or after treatment.
