Most people diagnosed with cancer will become long-term survivors. About 69% of adult patients with cancer and 84% of pediatric patients with cancer are expected to live at least five years postdiagnosis (American Cancer Society, 2022). As of January 2022, there were about 18.1 million cancer survivors in the United States, which is estimated to grow to 25.5 million by 2032 (American Cancer Society, 2022). As a result, some cancers are considered chronic diseases, and survivors' physical functioning and psychological well-being are important aspects of public health.
