Cancer is a life-changing experience for cancer patients, their friends and families. Cancer and cancer treatment both can have significant psychological and physiological effects on the patient. Although many aspects of quality of life after cancer have been previously studied, there are still gaps in our knowledge about the long-term effects of cancer survivors' and caregivers' physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being. This presentation will address approaches to the management of psychosocial and other quality-of-life issues experienced by cancer patients and their caregivers.

This educational activity consists of recorded presentations from the 2010 Advances in the Management of Oncology Patients conference held in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 26-28, 2010.
