There are over 14 million survivors of cancer living in the United States alone and tens of millions more worldwide, with this population expected to nearly double in the next decade. The successes of prevention, early detection, and better therapies have lead to an emerging understanding of the substantial medical and psychosocial issues for this growing population that must be tackled for individuals and from the health care system and societal perspectives.
仅在美国就有超过1400万癌症幸存者，全球还有数千万，预计这一群体在未来十年将几乎翻倍。预防、早期检测和更好疗法的成功，使人们逐渐认识到，对于这一不断增长的群体，必须从个人、医疗保健系统和社会层面解决大量的医学和心理社会问题。
