Survivorship Clinical Resource Area
Innovations in cancer cares have led to earlier diagnoses and better treatment of most cancers resulting in more people living with and surviving cancer each year. Survivors face unique issues at diagnosis, during treatment, and for the remaining years of their lives. Information and resources for "survivors" can be found here.

Speakers discuss examples from their clinical experience to describe the implementation of a comprehensive survivorship program and the provision of care for cancer survivors.
