 A Guide to Caring for Cancer Survivors
Improvements in chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and supportive care have resulted in rewarding survival increases for infants, children, and adolescents who have had a diagnosis of cancer. It has been estimated that, in 2000, one in 900 young adults was a cancer survivor. In the year 2010, one in 250 young adults will be such a survivor, it is expected, with the prevalence of cancer survivors continuing to increase across all age groups. |
