چکیده

Cancer survivors face numerous medical and psychosocial challenges, which the medical and public health systems are ill-equipped to deal with.

Our results suggest that a cancer survivorship summit can be a valuable tool for cancer coalitions and advocacy organizations in determining survivorship agendas and action plans.
