WASHINGTON, DC USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- FEBRUARY 16, 2021: There are more than 17 million cancer survivors in the United States, a number expected to exceed 22 million by the end of the decade. A core challenge is how best to care for them and address their multiple needs.

This virtual symposium, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, will feature 35 presenters and breakout sessions to explore the issues, including:

  • Management and monitoring of late and long-term treatment effects, such as cognitive changes and cardiotoxicity;
  • Promotion of healthy lifestyles;
  • Screening for and management of secondary malignancies;
  • Engaging cancer survivors in self-management;
  • Strategies to ensure sufficient coordination and building an “ecosystem of care” that includes chronic disease management, cardio-oncology, and rehabilitation and therapy;
  • How telehealth and other technology can enhance survivorship care;
  • The benefits of patient-reported outcomes and barriers to their use;
  • Disparities in survivorship care; and
  • How survivorship care can be personalized to meet the needs of unique populations, such as older individuals, sexual minorities, those who live in rural regions, and those who survived childhood or young adult cancers.


The approximately 35 presenters will include:

Emily S. Tonorezos, MD, MPH
Director, Office of Cancer Survivorship, National Cancer Institute

Deb Mayer, PhD, RN, OACN, FAAN
Director of Cancer Survivorship UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Former Interim Director, Office of Cancer Survivorship, National Cancer Institute
