title: Cancer Prevention in the Survivorship Setting.
abstract: To describe how nurses can use risk reduction and health promotion activities to facilitate surveillance of late effects and secondary cancers in long-term cancer survivors.
  
  
  
  Literature review on survivorship, nursing practice, cancer prevention, and survivorship; articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals; and Web-based or professional organization resources.
  
  
  
  Appropriate participation in screening activities, early detection of cancer, and further advances in treatment have contributed to the rise in cancer survivors. A demand for nurses with clinical experience and competence in survivorship care will follow.
  
  
  
  Oncology nurses have an essential role in providing safe and high-quality care throughout the survivorship experience, which can contribute to better long-term outcomes.
