Discover the latest survivorship research from ASCO 2026, including new findings on weight management, pain, physical activity, mental health, and technology, and what they mean for oncology teams and survivorship programs.
Every year, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting showcases the latest advances in cancer research and clinical care. While treatment innovations often dominate the conversation, ASCO 2026 highlighted another important trend: the growing body of evidence supporting comprehensive cancer survivorship care.
New research presented this year reinforced the importance of addressing the long-term physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs of cancer survivors. From interventions to support healthy weight management and physical activity to new insights into pain management, mental health, and digital health technologies, survivorship continues to emerge as a critical area of oncology care.
As more people live longer after cancer, these findings have important implications for clinicians, survivorship nurses, navigators, and healthcare leaders working to improve outcomes beyond treatment.
In this session, we review some of our favorite survivorship-focused posters and presentations from ASCO 2026, discussing the research that stood out most and what it may mean for clinical practice today. The conversation also explores broader trends in survivorship care and where the field appears to be heading in the coming years.
If your organization is looking to strengthen its survivorship program or stay current with emerging evidence, we hope this discussion provides practical insights and inspiration for delivering more comprehensive, patient-centered care.
