<p>The topic of cancer survivorship is becoming increasingly relevant in Germany due to improved treatment options and an aging society. Comprehensive follow-up care should address the following aspects: detection of recurrences and secondary tumors, assessment and management of long-term and late effects, consideration of comorbidities, identification of a&#xa0;potential hereditary cancer risk, promotion of a&#xa0;healthy lifestyle, psychosocial support and patient empowerment. The goal should be creation of individualized, structured follow-up care recommendations that address various biopsychosocial aspects. Currently, structures for quality-assured implementation of such recommendations by multidisciplinary and multiprofessional teams are lacking in Germany. Ongoing projects will contribute to a&#xa0;better understanding of cancer survivorship and optimize care.</p>
