Of the 696 survivors included in this study, 175
(n=25 %) reported a "high/very high" level of unmet need on seven or
more items of the Survivor Unmet Needs Survey. Additional and intensive supportive care may be
needed for this subgroup of haematological cancer survivors. Assistance with accessing
relevant financial support and highly accessible services that provide
emotional and information support, such as online and telephone peer support
programs, may prove beneficial in addressing their needs.
