AACR Virtual Patient Advocate Forum
The Science of Cancer Survivorship
June 28, 2022
VIRTUAL
Recent studies highlight the growing number of cancer survivors and the unique challenges that come from the late and long-term effects of cancer treatments. Accordingly, cancer survivorship is gaining recognition as an important, albeit understudied, area of research. The AACR Patient Advocate Forum discusses research advancing the field of cancer survivorship, identifies gaps in knowledge, and explores the future direction of cancer survivorship research.
