Follow-up care

Cancer Australia has developed resources to support health professionals in providing best practice follow-up and survivorship care for women with breast cancer, including guidelines for shared follow-up care and managing fear of cancer recurrence.

With Australian breast cancer survival rates at an all-time high, Cancer Australia has developed a number of resources to ensure the 15,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer this year continue to live long, productive and healthy lives after treatment.

The following resources are designed to support health professionals in undertaking follow-up care.
