More and more people are benefiting from the early detection of cancer and its successful treatment. These advances are improving both quality of life and length of survival among people diagnosed with cancer, permitting many survivors to lead full and productive lives at home and at work.
National data regarding life after cancer diagnosis track the financial burden of cancer care and survival rates, as well as the health behaviors of cancer survivors, including survivors’ physical activity, weight management, UV exposure, and smoking status.
