title: [Long-term cancer survivorship: definition and clinical implications].
abstract: Defining whether long-term cancer survivorship must be considered as a disease stage with its own characteristics, or as a condition ascribable to the state of health of the general population, has significant implications for the intervention proposals and the medical psychosocial rehabilitation. This issue is noteworthy also for the dimensions of this phenomenon and its subjective impact.
