title: Cancer survivorship, a unique and growing cohort in medical practice: radiology perspective.
abstract: The unique medical and psychologic burdens of cancer survivorship have only recently been recognized. This rapidly expanding cohort of patients will be seen increasingly by non-oncology physicians who must consider medical issues related to their cancer or its therapy for any presenting symptoms. Appropriate use of clinical imaging is essential for diagnosing treatment-related complications, recurrent tumor, or emergence of second primaries. This article will review clinical imaging in common medical problems uniquely found in cancer survivors.
