How Does Behavioral Science Contribute to Cancer Survivorship?
Cancer survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues through the remainder of a patient's life. Behavioral science focuses on the long-term challenges faced by survivors, including fear of recurrence, chronic pain, and lifestyle adjustments. Interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors, such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and stress management, are crucial for improving long-term health outcomes and reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.
