What is the economic evidence behind survivorship? ‘Routes from Diagnosis’ is a way of linking and analysing routinely collected data Maps the cancer journey from diagnosis through to death Describing health outcomes i.e. survival times, incidence, prevalence of cancer and non related cancer morbidities. Tells us how patients interact with the system e.g. interaction with health care services, when, how long and cost
All patients reach one of these outcome groups – taking different routes from diagnosis Diagnosis 0-12 months 1-7 years, cancer complications 7+ years, no complications This is a survivorship outcome framework 1-7 years, other morbidities 1-7 years, no complications 7+ years, morbidities 25.3% 29.7% 5.9% 20.4% 6.3% 12.4% SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLE Everyone diagnosed with prostate cancer in England in 2004
What does RfD tell us? We know more about clinical outcomes – beyond just survival We know more about how they interact with the system

Key survivorship messages A shift in professional culture is essential to enable supported self management. New models of cancer aftercare gives opportunities to improve quality and reduce cost. Many people can self manage their health with support, with rapid access to professionals when needed. There is significant unmet need arising from consequences of treatment, which can be successfully addressed through prevention and treatment. Good survivorship care requires timely communication across boundaries.
