This competence-building resource synthesizes a rich trove of
conceptual and practical information on treating cancer survivors
at risk of being underserved. Spotlighting a diverse group of
ethnic and other demographic populations surviving diverse forms of
cancer, the book models the assessing of needs and the developing
of strategies to meet them. The multiple burden of cancer―medical
and psychosocial problems, discrimination and stigma, quality of
life issues―is described in depth as it affects different cultural
and age populations. Contributors also present interventions that
effectively and meaningfully address these complex intersections of
physical, emotional, interpersonal, and layered social concerns.
