Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer diagnosis and treatment can have dramatic effects on the physical, psychological, and social wellbeing of patients and their caregivers and may cause a wide range of informational, emotional, and social unmet needs in the cancer trajectory of patients.
Patients in remission have a greater risk of developing new cancers compared with people who have never had cancer before. In this sense, several studies have documented that implementing good practices such as the prevention and the cessation of tobacco use, regular physical activity, maintenance of a healthy weight, and routine consulting with healthcare providers about follow-up care after a cancer diagnosis (i.e., survivorship care plans) can prevent new cancers or cancer recurrence, increase survival, and strengthen quality of life.
This Special Issue is addressed to evaluate the impact of health intervention on cancer epidemiology, investigating patients' and caregivers' health needs for supplying information, empowering people and orienting patients and caregivers towards specific social and health services, evaluating and planning re-orientation strategies based on health promotion principles, developing health-literacy competences, promoting healthy lifestyles for specific community groups, implementing policies and actions for active ageing, evaluating and promoting cancer screening adherence by the community, and implementing vaccination programs for specific high-risk groups.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cancer epidemiology
- Communication in cancer care and prevention
- Healthy and active ageing
- Health needs
- Health promotion approach
- Future strategies and perspectives
