- Cancer survivorship
- Cancer survivorship care
- Cancer survivorship research
These definitions were developed through a consensus process that included a comprehensive review of the literature and meetings with survivor advocates and subject matter experts. With over 18 million cancer survivors in the United States, consistent and up-to-date definitions are critical for advancing survivorship care.
