In this special CURE Connections® program, broadcast live at The Ruesch Center for the Cure of GI Cancers, Philippa Cheetham, MD, Martha Raymond (Michael’s Mission, The Raymond Foundation), Craig Lustig (The Ruesch Center for the Cure of GI Cancers), and Paula Rothenberg (Hope Connections for Cancer Support) discuss results of a brief survey, conducted by the GI Cancers Alliance, that have helped advocates to better understand the unmet needs of gastrointestinal cancer patients and survivors. The panelists highlight some of the most critical issues that need to be addressed, and remark on the importance of establishing survivorship-care plans that are unique to the patient. Members of the audience also have an opportunity to share personal encounters, provide insight, and ask questions to the expert panelists.
