Cancer Survivors in Later Life (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With advancing age a risk factor for most cancers and half of all malignancies occurring after the age of 65, aging has become an important lens to understanding cancer survivorship. Cancer Survivors in Later Life draws upon extensive research in the field in order to examine the key challenges older adult survivors face in terms of their health, living with cancer, and coping with its after-effects. The book is organized into eight chapters that reflect some of the key themes in larger psycho-social oncology, medical oncology, gerontology, and family research literatures. Within each chapter, the theme introduced is discussed in terms of the prominent foundational research and supplemented by findings from over 20 years of Dr. Deimling's research in collaboration with colleagues at Cancer Survivors Research Program (CSRP) at Case Western Reserve. Each chapter culminates with narratives provided by cancer survivors reflecting on their life experiences during and after cancer.
