Advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have led to an increase in the number of people who have overcome
the disease, reaching 5% of the current population in our country. As indicated by the Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica
[Spanish Society of Medical Oncology], this situation involves new challenges that require, among other things, the identification
of and attention to the quality of life and the psychosocial needs of this growing population. The objective of this article is to
reflect on the importance of comprehensive, specialized, and multidisciplinary care, in which the survivor has a more active
participation. However, previously, the debate on the concept of the survivor, and a description of the physical, psychological,
and social impact of cancer and its treatment are described. |
