Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“People do not experience the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment in the same way. After successful treatment, some people thrive; for many, however, life after diagnosis presents lasting challenges.
There are an estimated 32 million people considered ‘cancer survivors’ worldwide. This figure is rising, as more people are being diagnosed with cancer – and being treated successfully for it.
To ensure effective access to supportive and survivorship care, there is a demand for a shift in perspective: from treating the disease to treating the person.”
