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.
