Understanding Cancer Survivorship Cancer survivorship refers to the phase of life after cancer treatment is completed. Survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues through treatment and beyond.

Statistics and Importance Over 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. as of 2021. Approximately 40% of survivors report unmet needs post-treatment. Survivorship programs improve quality of life and reduce health risks. Speaker Notes: With the growing number of survivors due to advances in detection and treatment, survivorship care is critical for addressing long-term needs. Reference: American Cancer Society. (2021). Cancer Facts & Figures 2021.
