Study findings call attention to cancer survivors' unmet SCNs and related factors. Underscored areas in developing survivorship care included paying special attention to existential survivorship, empowering survivor management of chronic symptoms, particularly for younger survivors, as well as for survivors with poor QoL, and those with a shorter time since diagnosis. This tailored survivorship care should be developed and delivered by a multidisciplinary team to support cancer services, with a greater capacity to deliver individualized, unmet SCN-driven care to survivors.
