Advances in Cancer Survivorship Management

by Lewis E. Foxhall (Editor), Maria Alma Rodriguez (Editor)

This volume presents the MD Anderson experience in providing care and services to the rapidly growing number of cancer survivors who now number an estimated 12 million in the United States and more than 25 million worldwide. With increased rates of cancer survival has slowly come the recognition that the challenges faced by people with cancer do not end with treatment but change. The book aims to assist community oncologists, physicians, and their staffs, who care for the vast majority of the growing number of cancer survivors, by disseminating models for surveillance for disease recurrence, screening for second primary cancers, education regarding potential late effects of treatment, and access to psychosocial counseling that have proven valuable to cancer survivors who receive care at The MD Anderson Cancer Center.
