What CDC Is Doing About Cancer Survivorship

As the number of cancer survivors in the United States continues to grow, CDC is working to address survivors’ needs by making cancer survivorship a public health priority, conducting epidemiological and applied research and surveillance, and supporting evidence-based programs. CDC works with public, non-profit, and private partners to create and implement strategies to help the millions of people in the United States and other countries who are living with, through, and beyond cancer.
