Objectives:
To provide a review of who is surviving cancer diagnosed within the last 20 years and key areas for research development related to cancer survivorship.
Data Sources:
Articles, studies, and Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results statistics.
Conclusions:
The information we have on today's survivors must be periodically revisited and revised to equip cancer patients with the knowledge and tools they need to master the new realities of their survivorship.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
With the increasing numbers of individuals being cured of or living long periods of time following a diagnosis of cancer, oncology nurses who work with cancer survivors must maintain their knowledge of the issues and practices critical to the well-being of the patient.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
