Kaplan–Meier Survival Curves for cancer‐specific survival. Overall cancer‐specific survival was analyzed based on whether a patient followed‐up with their primary care physician within the 6 months after a diagnosis of poor‐prognosis cancer, including lung, colorectal, kidney, esophagus, bladder, and brain cancers. Survival was compared using Kaplan–Meier analysis (p < 0.001, log‐rank test). The cancer‐specific survival was significantly different between patients who had primary care physician continuity (median cancer‐specific survival, 22 months [interquartile range, 12–47]) and patients who had no care continuity (20 months [11–44]; p < 0.001). Tumor‐specific survival curves can be found in Figure 2 [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
