TL;DR: Patient education on the benefits of regular physical activity is important for all cancer survivors and may be especially important to review after treatment completion to promote healthy habits during this transition period.

TL;DR: Lower rates of talk and advice among those who are further in time from treatment suggest the need for more assessment among longer-term survivors, many of whom continue to experience these symptoms.

TL;DR: Results suggest that among survivors of nonmetastatic prostate cancer with largely localized disease, postdiagnosis obesity is associated with higher CVDM and all-cause mortality, and possibly higher PCSM, and that post diagnosis weight gain may be associated with a higher mortality as a result of all causes and prostate cancer.

TL;DR: The rationale for PRO surveillance and the methods of the Patient Reported Outcomes Symptoms and Side Effects Study (PROSSES), which is the first PRO study to use the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer's Rapid Quality Reporting System to identify patients and manage study data flow, are described.

TL;DR: Characteristics of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors within the first year of completing treatment who are most and least prepared for re-entry and how preparedness level and other characteristics are related to cancer-related symptom management were examined.
