UW Carbone Survivorship Program
The UW Carbone Survivorship Program advances research and care to support cancer survivors and their families through health system innovation. We focus on integrating survivorship into clinical practice, improving quality of life, shaping health policy, and training healthcare professionals through in-person and online education.
We bridge oncology, primary care, and specialty services to deliver patient-centered, coordinated care tailored to each cancer type. Our team is committed to promoting health equity by addressing social determinants that impact access to survivorship care.

Cancer survivors are individuals from the moment of diagnosis through the rest of their lives. Due to an aging population, rising cancer rates, and advances in detection and treatment, the number of survivors in the U.S. is expected to exceed 22 million by 2030.
This growing population highlights the urgent need to address the long-term and late effects of cancer and its treatments. At the same time, improving care coordination between oncology and primary care is essential to ensure survivors receive comprehensive, high-quality support throughout their journey.
