A total of 178 surveys were mailed to cancer survivors. Fourteen were excluded because of death (4) or returned mail (10) . Sixty-seven of the 164 potential respondents responded, resulting in an overall response rate of 41%. Seventy-eight surveys were mailed to physicians. Two were excluded because of returned mail. Twenty-two of the 76 potential participants responded, resulting in an overall response rate of 29%. Baseline character-letters istics for survivor and physician cohorts are summarized in Table I . Survivor responders were older at diagnosis than nonresponders (P 5 0.024); otherwise responders did not differ significantly from nonresponders with respect to baseline characteristics. Thirteen survivors (19%) completed the survey less than 2 years since their diagnosis, 26 (39%) completed the survey 2 to 5 years since their diagnosis, and 28 (42%) completed the survey more than 5 years since their diagnosis.
