Abstract:
Patients with hematologic cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are living longer than ever. The survival rate of patients with most hematologic cancers has doubled since 1974, and these once-terminal diagnoses are now chronic health conditions. This article reviews the care of patients with hematologic cancers, including those previously treated for childhood, adolescent, and young-adult cancers, discusses the role of primary care in a multidisciplinary team approach, and reviews innovative ways to deliver needed care.

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...
