  insights and strategies for treating cancer survivors' long-term physical and mental

  health issues. Details of new and emerging trends in research and practice enhance

  readers' awareness of cancer survivor problems so they may better detect, monitor,

  intervene in, and if possible prevent disturbing conditions and potentially harmful

  outcomes. Of particular emphasis in this model of care are recognizing each patient's

  uniqueness within the survivor population and being a co-pilot as survivors navigate

  their self-management. New or updated chapters cover major challenges to survivors'

  quality of life and options for service delivery across key life domains, including:

  ** Adaptation and coping post-treatment.

  smoking cessation.

  ** Large-scale symptoms including pain, distress, and fatigue.

  landscape, the Second Edition of the Handbook of Cancer Survivorship is an essential

  reference for oncologists, rehabilitation professionals, public health, health promotion

  and disease prevention specialists, and epidemiologists.
