Cancer Patient Follow-up: Unit Review
and Quiz
|
Unit Review
Here is what we have learned from this unit:
- Follow-up information provides the documentation of residual
disease or its spread, recurrences, or additional malignancies.
Follow-up is important to determine outcome of treatment.
- The issues of confidentiality must be emphasized when
obtaining patient data, especially follow-up information.
- The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College
of Surgeons requires approved cancer programs to meet or
exceed the target rate of 90 percent successful follow-up
and the follow-up rate is calculated on all eligible patients,
both living and dead.
- Cancer registry brochures explain the purpose of follow-up
and registry functions, address confidentiality issues,
and explain the importance of the information provided by
the patient.

Since the quiz is created as an incentive for learning, rather
than an objective evaluation of learning results, the score
of the quiz will not be recorded. Instead, feedback to your
answer is provided instantaneously.
These quiz questions are grouped into several sets of two
questions each to reduce the size of the content on each page.
