SEARCHJune 1, 2014, marked the 27th Annual National Cancer Survivors Day. City of Hope's Center for Cancer Survivorship provides follow-up care for cancer survivors.
Roughly 14 million U.S. adults make up a community that’s living after a diagnosis of cancer and celebrated this past Sunday’s 27th Annual National Cancer Survivors Day (NCSD). A walk/run in Chicago’s Grant Park was typical of the events that took place all over the country to mark personal milestones and raise awareness about surviving cancer.
“More people are living longer and better quality lives after cancer than ever before,” NCSD spokesperson Laura Shipp states on the foundation’s website. “These survivors are showing us that life after cancer can be meaningful, exciting and filled with joy.”
City of Hope, a salon industry partner, has established the Center for Cancer Survivorship to provide specialized follow-up care and education for survivors of pediatric, prostate and breast cancers. Data is being gathered from this program as well, and the resulting research into long-term effects of cancer and cancer treatment is influencing the ways care is delivered at City of Hope.
“By participating in research, our patients help us to learn more about issues facing cancer survivors, resulting in opportunities to continually improve survivorship care and to share what is learned with the medical community at large,” says Smita Bhatia, M.D., M.P.H., director of the program. “The ultimate goal of this Center is to improve the overall quality of life for the survivors.”
