Abstract
Cancer survivorship has been an emerging area in health care due to the increasing number of long-term cancer survivors after primary therapy with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. 1 McCabe MS Bhatia S Oeffinger KC et al.

J Clin Oncol. 2013; 31: 631-640 Crossref PubMed Scopus (310) Google Scholar In 2012, approximately 13.7 million patients were considered cancer survivors which is anticipated to grow 18 million by 2022 living five or more years after completion of curative treatment. 2 de Moor JS Mariotto AB Parry C et al.
