Survivorship.

The field of cancer survivorship has matured over the past 10 years, with research efforts coordinated by transplant societies, the National Cancer Institute΄s Office of Cancer Survivorship, and patient advocate groups including the Lance Armstrong Foundation (http://www.livestrong.org).
