Group medical visits (GMVs) offer a multidisciplinary approach to cancer survivorship care, integrating medical care, education, and peer support. Our scoping review identified six studies evaluating GMVs for cancer survivors, with significant variation in structure, frequency, and outcomes studied, including quality of life and healthcare utilization. While GMVs have demonstrated benefits in chronic disease management, evidence supporting their effectiveness in survivorship care remains limited and inconsistent. Larger, high-quality studies are needed to better understand their role in addressing the unmet needs of cancer survivors.
