Not long ago, a cancer diagnosis was regarded as an automatic death
sentence; today there are ten million survivors. Equally impressive
is the growing number of clinicians and researchers dedicated to
improving the quality of survivorsa (TM) lives and care. Yet
despite this encouraging picture, there has never been a reliable
central source for relevant clinical information a" till now.
The Handbook on Cancer Survivorship responds to the diverse
needs of survivors and their support communities by comprehensively
addressing the major issues in the field, from the burden of
survivorship to secondary prevention. Editor Michael Feuerstein,
himself a cancer survivor, and sixty other top
scientist-practitioners analyze in depth how survivors meet and
manage the challenges of life after cancer, and what clinicians,
researchers, and public health systems can do to ease the
transition.
The Handbooka (TM)s 27 comprehensive chapters include the latest
research and practice related to: Survivorsa (TM) quality of life,
and how it can be assessed; Managing everyday and chronic stress;
Depression, anxiety, pain disorders, and cognitive changes
Coping, adaptation, and resilience; Behavior change strategies a"
exercise, weight control, smoking cessation; Cancer survivorship
centers and other models for follow-up care; Survivor, clinician,
and international perspectives; New frontiers in practice,
research, and policy.
Such wide-ranging coverage benefits everyone involved in cancer
survival: primary care providers, oncologists; behavioral health
specialists; physical and occupational therapists; nutritionists;
epidemiologists; health systems professionals and policymakers;
and, ofcourse, survivors themselves and their families.
