由于一生中有超过三分之一的人有患癌症的风险，我们每个人都可能经历过癌症，或者认识某个从癌症中存活下来的人。虽然一些癌症幸存者的康复带来了新的生命和使命感，但经常被忽视的是癌症及其治疗对健康、功能、安全感和福祉造成的损害。治疗的长期持久效果可能在完成后不久就显现出来，也可能在几年后出现。从积极治疗到治疗后护理的过渡对长期健康至关重要。《从癌症患者到癌症幸存者》关注的是成人癌症患者在初级治疗后的护理阶段的幸存者。这本书提高了人们对癌症及其治疗的医学、功能和心理社会后果的认识。它为癌症幸存者定义了高质量的医疗保健，并确定了实现这一目标的战略。该书还建议通过确保癌症幸存者获得心理社会服务、公平就业做法和医疗保险的政策来改善他们的生活质量。这本书将特别引起癌症患者及其倡导者、医疗保健提供者及其领导层、健康保险公司、雇主、研究赞助商以及公众和他们选出的代表的兴趣。
With the risk of more than one in three getting cancer during a lifetime, each of us is likely to experience cancer, or know someone who has survived cancer. Although some cancer survivors recover with a renewed sense of life and purpose, what has often been ignored is the toll taken by cancer and its treatmenta "on health, functioning, sense of security, and well-being. Long lasting effects of treatment may be apparent shortly after its completion or arise years later. The transition from active treatment to post-treatment care is critical to long-term health. From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor focuses on survivors of adult cancer during the phase of care that follows primary treatment. The book raises awareness of the medical, functional, and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment. It defines quality health care for cancer survivors and identifies strategies to achieve it. The book also recommends improvements in the quality of life of cancer survivors through policies that ensure their access to psychosocial services, fair employment practices, and health insurance. This book will be of particular interest to cancer patients and their advocates, health care providers and their leadership, health insurers, employers, research sponsors, and the public and their elected representatives.
