Principles and Care Models in Cancer Survivorship: A Brazilian Perspective

Introduction to the “SBOC Survivorship Guide” Series Brazil faces a rapidly growing need for structured cancer survivorship care, yet follow-up remains heterogeneous and is often concentrated within oncology services. This is the opening article in the “SBOC Survivorship Guide” series—a series of articles intended to raise awareness among healthcare professionals on survivorship care. This article introduces the series and its scope, describes the concept of survivorship care and existing models of care, contextualizing the advantages and challenges of each model to Brazilian-specific implementation principles. Subsequent articles will focus on domain-specific clinical, operational and implementation recommendations for Brazilian practice.
