Adult cancer survivors report anxiety, chronic pain years after treatment, study finds

A team of researchers from UT Arlington and the University of Central Florida has determined that years after going into remission, many adult cancer survivors still encounter challenges arising from their disease and its treatment.

From anxiety about a cancer recurrence to physical problems such as chronic pain, survivors aren’t quite done battling the effects of cancer even two, five, and 10 years after treatment for the disease. The study is published online and in the February issue of Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society. 

"(Cancer) survivors with debilitating, lingering effects of cancer and its treatment are not always acknowledged within health care systems as needing continued care based on their cancer survivor status,” says Gail Adorno, assistant professor of social work and co-principal investigator on the study.
