Not every survivor needs to see an oncologist every six months for years. Sort people by recurrence risk, send low-risk survivors back to their family doctor with a clear plan, and guarantee rapid return if something changes.
Hospital-based follow-up for all survivors consumes specialist capacity without evidence of survival benefit for most low-risk patients. Risk-stratified models (as in England's personalised stratified follow-up) move low-risk patients to supported self-management and primary care, with remote surveillance tests and an open re-access route, reserving specialist follow-up for high-risk patients. Randomised evidence shows equivalence for recurrence detection in breast and colorectal cancer.
