Currently, there are nearly 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States. They face a myriad of personal and health issues related to their cancer treatment. Increased recognition of cancer survivorship as a distinct and important phase that follows the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has contributed to the development of public health-related strategies and plans to address those strategies. CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) uses an interdisciplinary public health approach to address the needs of cancer survivors through applied research, public health surveillance and data collection, education, and health promotion, especially among underserved populations that may be at risk for health disparities. Our surveillance activities contribute to population-based descriptions of the health and treatment experiences of cancer survivors in the United States. These data inform applied research activities as well as provide baseline data on cancer survivors for local comprehensive cancer control programs. The knowledge gained by our research efforts informs the development of interventions, awareness and education campaigns, and other outreach activities targeting cancer survivors and those who care for and support them. Our partnerships with national organizations, state health agencies, and other key groups are essential in the development, implementation, and promotion of effective cancer control practices related to cancer survivorship. This article provides an overview of the cancer survivorship activities currently being implemented by DCPC. We highlight several public health surveillance, research, and programmatic outreach and partnership activities currently underway.
目前，美国有近 1200 万癌症幸存者。他们面临着与癌症治疗相关的各种个人和健康问题。越来越多的人认识到癌症生存是癌症诊断和治疗后的一个独特而重要的阶段，这有助于制定与公共卫生相关的战略和计划来应对这些战略。疾病预防控制中心的癌症预防和控制司（DCPC）采用跨学科的公共卫生方法，通过应用研究、公共卫生监测和数据收集、教育和健康促进来满足癌症幸存者的需求，特别是针对那些可能存在健康差距风险的服务不足的人群。我们的监测活动有助于对美国癌症幸存者的健康和治疗经验进行基于人群的描述。这些数据为应用研究活动提供信息，并为当地综合癌症控制计划提供癌症幸存者的基线数据。我们的研究工作所获得的知识为干预措施的制定、意识和教育活动以及针对癌症幸存者及其照顾者和支持者的其他外展活动提供了信息。我们与国家组织、州卫生机构和其他关键团体的伙伴关系对于制定与癌症生存相关的有效癌症控制实践至关重要。本文概述了 DCPC 目前正在实施的癌症生存活动。我们重点介绍了一些正在进行的公共卫生监测、研究、项目外展和伙伴关系活动。
