Introduction

This patient summary on transitional care planning is adapted from a summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Transitional care is the care needed when moving from one to another stage of disease, level of care, and/or care facility as the disease becomes better or worse. This brief summary describes transitional care, assessment, and care options.
