Cancer Survivorship
Advances in our understanding of cancer, and in our ability to detect and treat it, have led to greater survival rates for patients diagnosed with a form of the disease. As a result, there are more than 9 million cancer survivors alive today in the United States, and millions more who have been touched by the disease as family members and friends.
