What is survivorship?
The word “survivorship” is complicated because it means different things to different people. Common definitions include:
-
Having no signs of a tumor after finishing treatment.
-
Living with, through, and beyond a tumor. According to this definition, tumor survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues during treatment and through the rest of a person’s life.
