According to the American Cancer Society, there are nearly 16.9 million cancer survivors in the United States, many of whom face physical, psychological, practical, informational, and spiritual challenges after the completion of cancer treatment. Primary care physicians play a critical role in providing much-needed follow-up care for cancer survivors.
