A recent paper by Emily Tonorezos, Director of the Office of Cancer Survivorship, part of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at NCI, was mentioned by National Cancer Institute on X:
“Cancer survivors are growing in number. In the US, nearly half of survivors have lived 10 or more years after diagnosis, while 19% have lived 20 or more years. The prevalence of long-term survivors is expected to increase through 2040.
