ASCO Cancer Treatment Summaries

The ASCO Cancer Treatment Plan and Summary is a brief record of your cancer treatment. The forms provide a convenient way to store information about your cancer, cancer treatment, and follow-up care. The forms are also meant to give basic information about your medical history to future doctors who will care for you during your lifetime.

Using the treatment summary, your oncologist can enter the dose of chemotherapy you received, the specific drugs that were used, the number of cycles that were completed, surgeries done, and any additional treatment that was given (such as radiation therapy or hormone therapy).

ASCO also offers a form called a Survivorship Care Plan based on specific clinical practice guidelines for certain types of cancer. This document guides your follow-up care as you transition into survivorship.

Please note that none of these forms are intended to provide a complete medical record, and no single treatment plan or summary is appropriate for all patients. Patients are encouraged to discuss all treatment options and follow-up care plans with their doctor. The ASCO Treatment Plan and Summary should be used with the guidance of your doctor. Learn more about the ASCO Treatment Summaries and Survivorship Care Plans.
