Abstract
Primary care clinicians are ideally suited to provide comprehensive, whole-person survivorship care for cancer survivors that focuses on managing co-occurring chronic conditions and mitigating risks related to the cancer and long-term effects of the disease and its treatment. It is therefore critical to develop and test innovative strategies to support primary care practices in delivering high-quality survivorship care. The National Cancer Institute-funded Primary Care Engaged Research for Cancer Survivorship Care (PERCS) initiative encompasses 4 randomized controlled trials funded by cooperative agreement (U01) grants that 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 cancer treatment. Here, we outline the overall goals of the PERCS initiative, describe key features of each study, and explore opportunities for leveraging synergies and collaboration with the overall goal of improving care and outcomes for all survivors.
