Awareness has grown over the past few years that needs specific to cancer survivors have long been neglected. Clinicians and policy makers continue to struggle, however, with exactly how to address these needs. We present a comprehensive framework for survivorship research and couple it with a model for translating research into policy, using two examples for illustration.
