With the early detection of cancer and improvement in cancer therapy, the number of cancer survivors is rapidly increasing. This number is expected to reach 2 million by the end of 2019. Cancer survivors struggle with not only cancer-related health problems but also diverse acute and chronic diseases. These health issues make cancer survivorship more complex, and proper care coordination is necessary. This study aimed to summarize the definition of cancer experience and management of cancer survivors, specifically focused on gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, thyroid, prostate, and cervical cancers. Furthermore, it aimed to discuss the role of primary care in cancer survivorship and survivorship care models and the National Policy for Cancer Survivors and Future Challenges.
随着癌症的早期发现和癌症治疗的改善,癌症幸存者的数量正在迅速增加。预计到2019年底,这一数字将达到200万。癌症幸存者不仅要应对与癌症相关的健康问题,还要应对各种急慢性疾病。这些健康问题使癌症生存问题更加复杂,因此需要进行适当的护理协调。本研究旨在总结癌症经历的定义和癌症幸存者的管理,特别关注胃癌、结直肠癌、肺癌、乳腺癌、甲状腺癌、前列腺癌和宫颈癌。此外,它旨在讨论初级保健在癌症生存和生存护理模式中的作用,以及国家癌症幸存者政策和未来挑战。
