Cancer treatment summary template

York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust have produced a Cancer Treatment Summary Template. This is a document which incorporates information on all of the treatments which an individual has had. The Treatment Summary is produced in hospitals following a phase of treatment. This can be following surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or, it can be completed at the end of all treatments.

A Treatment Summary describes the treatment that the person has had, its potential side effects and signs and symptoms of recurrence. It is designed to be shared with the patient and their GP. For more information please click here, a patient friendly poster has also been produced, you can view an example of a Cancer Treatment Summary here.

Patient information

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. There's more information about cancer on the NHS website.

If you are displaying cancer symptoms, your GP will refer you to hospital to be seen within two weeks. You can download an “easy-read” patient leaflet which explains the two-week-wait process, here. Please be aware, the majority of patients referred under the 'two week wait' system have a simple condition and do not have cancer.

However, if you are subsequently diagnosed with cancer, a number of organisations provide support including Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK (other charities which offer support for people diagnosed with specific cancers are also at hand - search online).
