e20506 Background: An essential component of cancer survivorship care includes the prevention and early detection of new cancers. We sought to determine if documentation of appropriate cervical and/or colon cancer screening differed between BrCa survivors followed in our BC (patients < 5 yrs from diagnosis of invasive BrCa or with active BrCa issues) and those seen in our SvC (patients with history of DCIS or ≥ 5 yrs from invasive BrCa diagnosis). Methods: IRB approval was obtained for this retrospective study. 5,982 BrCa survivors were seen for follow-up in our BC or SvC between 7/1/05 and 12/31/06. 2,811 BC patients and 1191 SvC patients (total = 4,002) met inclusion criteria: 1) not receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or undergoing surgical evaluation; 2) no evidence of recurrent BrCa; 3) ≥ 12 months from BrCa diagnosis, 4) no active GYN or GI complaints. Results: BrCa survivors followed our SvC were significantly more likely to have provider documentation of both cervical and colon cancer screening than those followed in our BC (72% versus 22.7%, and 68.4% versus 14.5%, respectively; both p values <0.001). Although nursing documentation of cervical cancer screening is required in both centers, SvC patients were more likely to have this documented than those in the BC (95.3% versus 56.5%, respectively; p <0.001). Nursing documentation of colon cancer screening is required in SvC (84.2% documented) but not in the BC (3.5% documented). Conclusions: BrCa survivors receiving care in our survivorship clinic were more likely to have nursing or provider documentation of cervical and/or colon cancer screening. Strategies that trigger documentation of non-BrCa screening take advantage of the “teachable moment” during a routine visit- thereby promoting the long-term health of cancer survivors.
