摘要

Purpose of Review

This review examines the evolution of cancer survivorship from its conceptual foundations to implementation in contemporary cancer care, emphasizing integration of survivorship and cancer rehabilitation to optimize long‑term functional outcomes.

Recent Findings

Survivorship is increasingly defined as a longitudinal, multidimensional process beginning at diagnosis and extending across the lifespan. Many cancer survivors have persistent functional impairments, and cancer rehabilitation improves physical function, quality of life, and participation. Survivorship care delivery is shaped by accreditation requirements and national standards that promote interdisciplinary planning, structured programs, and coordinated care models to enhance quality and effectiveness.

Summary

Cancer survivorship should be a standard component of comprehensive cancer care. Cancer rehabilitation is central to survivorship by addressing functional needs, promoting wellness, and supporting meaningful life participation. Integrated survivorship and rehabilitation models provide a scalable approach to improve outcomes, demonstrate value, and meet the needs of a growing survivor population.
