Meta-analyses were not feasible due to heterogeneity. Most studies reported on solid tumors, like breast (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20097) and colorectal cancers (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093). Clinical outcomes were reported by 10 studies, patient-reported by 11, and costs by 4. No important differences were found on clinical and patient-reported outcomes when comparing primary- with secondary-based care. Some differences were seen relating to the content and quality of survivorship care, such as guideline adherence and follow-up tests, but there was no favorite strategy. Survivorship care in primary care was associated with lower societal costs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, cancer survivorship care in primary care had similar effects on clinical and patient-reported outcomes compared with secondary care, while resulting in lower costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for cancer survivors<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Survivorship care in primary care seems feasible.
