title: Cancer survivorship. 1: How services need to change for those living with and beyond cancer.
abstract: Several factors, including improved healthcare and treatment, have contributed to an enormous increase in the number of people living with and beyond cancer. As a result, an estimated two million people in the UK are classed as cancer survivors. Healthcare providers need to consider how their services can meet the needs of this group, and nurses need to consider their role in their area of practice in terms of supporting those who survive cancer.
