Abstract:
This article provides a synopsis of the status of cancer survivorship in the United States. It highlights the challenges of survivorship care as the number of cancer survivors has steadily grown over the 40 years since the signing of the National Cancer Act in 1971. Also included is an overview of various models of survivorship care plans (SCPs), facilitators and barriers to SCP use, their impact on patient outcomes, and implications for clinical practice and research. This article provides a broad overview of the cancer survivorship, including models of care and survivorship care plans.

Cancer Therapies
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...
