Sur­vivor­ship Clinic

Con­sul­ta­tion hours for long-term sur­vivors with gyne­co­log­i­cal tumor disease

Fol­low-up care for patients with gyne­co­log­i­cal can­cer usu­al­ly extends to the first five years after the ini­tial diag­no­sis. How­ev­er, over half of long-term sur­vivors still have symptoms. 

So far there is no con­tact point or con­sul­ta­tion hour for long-term sur­vivors with gyne­co­log­i­cal tumor dis­ease in Ger­many. As a new form of care, the “Sur­vivor­ship Clin­ic” will eval­u­ate clin­i­cal­ly and scientifically. 

The Sur­vivor­ship Clin­ic study is financed by the Inno­va­tion Fund of the Fed­er­al Joint Com­mit­tee of Health Insur­ance Funds, so that if the eval­u­a­tion is pos­i­tive, it is pos­si­ble to offer such a sur­vivor­ship clin­ic as a health insur­ance service.
