| Popis: | According to the National Cancer Institute, there were more than 15.5 million cancer survivors in the United States as of 2016, and this number is expected to grow. Cancer survivors have to endure the disease and treatment effects, financial burden, employment and health insurance, and relationship issues. These issues can affect survivors' quality of life. Primary care nurse practitioners (PCNPs) are in the frontline of improving survivors' quality of life by managing and minimizing the impact of these issues. This article will cover these issues and the role of PCNPs. |
