Preferred term

cancer management  

Definition

  • Managing one's experience with cancer requires coping with diagnostic procedures, treatment protocols, uncertainty in prognosis and recurrence, and often a reduced capacity to engage in normal, daily activities. These external and internal demands may seem overwhelming at times and challenge an individual's ability to cope. [Source: Encyclopedia of Counseling; Cancer Management]
