AB Cancer is a social issue as its outreach affects not only mortality (it is the second cause ofdeath in our environment) but also the costs due to morbidity and the distress it causes, as well asthe losses and consequences in personal, family, work, and even social areas. This study is trying tofind out the health needs of long-term cancer survivors and their perceptions and expectations ofthe care they received during their survival stage. For this, a joint, cross-sectional descriptive studywith a qualitative and quantitative approach has been designed. For the qualitative approach, wehave used different focus groups representing different geographical areas of the Spanish territory.For the qualitative approach, we have used a validated questionnaire. This study will provide abetter knowledge of the quality of life of these patients, as well as their level of unmet and evenunexpressed needs, in order to develop effective strategies and interventions that allow for theimplementation of adapted care plans that include such unexpressed needs. This study will alsoallow for the creation and development of assessment methods for health results from the patient’sperspective and experience. These issues require a multidisciplinary, complex approach. Thesesurvivors may require not well-known health services, as the number of these patients has grownrecently, and their survival time is also longer. This research explores a wider and more thoroughperspective of long-term cancer survivors’ needs, experiences, and expectations to be achieved.
