55 Background: For cancer survivors who were diagnosed with cancer during childhood, adolescence and young adulthood years, transitioning into survivorship and post-cancer treatment care remains challenging and may be aided by treatment summaries (TS) and/or survivorship care plans (SCP). Little research has been conducted on receipt of SCP and/or TS from the patient perspective. The objective of this study was to determine patient- and cancer-specific characteristics that are associated with receipt of SCP and/or TS (SCP/TS). Methods: 240 female young adult cancer survivors (YCS) between ages 18-44 were recruited to a national cohort study on reproductive health and completed a web-based survey that included report of receiving SCP and TS. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (OR) for characteristics associated with receipt of SCP/TS. Results: Mean age (standard deviation) was 32.8 (5.8) years; mean age at cancer diagnosis was 27.2 (7.1) years. Forty-eight (20%) participants were diagnosed with cancer at < 21 years of age. Only 47% of participants reported receipt of SCP/TS. In unadjusted analyses, current age, younger age at diagnosis, education level, receiving chemotherapy and receiving bone marrow transplant were significantly associated with report of SCP/TS receipt. In multivariable analyses, survivors diagnosed at younger age ( < 21 years) had 2-fold higher odds of SCP/TS receipt (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.0-3.9). Chemotherapy treatment (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2-4.6) and bone marrow transplantation (OR 7.2, 95% CI 1.5-33.3) were also significantly associated with SCP/TS receipt. Conclusions: A significant proportion of YCS do not recall receiving a TS or SCP to aid in the transition to post-cancer treatment survivorship care. Receipt of these documents is not uniform across the young cancer survivor population. Improved integration of TS and SCP into cancer survivorship care is needed.
