The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has issued recommendations to keep cancer survivors from falling "through the cracks." Those words, from ASCO president Sandra Swain, MD, refer to the health risks that imperil survivors as they transition out of treatment and the related need for planned and coordinated ongoing care to catch and mitigate those risks.

The more than 13 million cancer survivors in the United States are at increased risk for other health problems, premature mortality, and adverse effects from treatment, according to ASCO.
