AB  - According  to  the  National  Cancer  Institute  (NCI),  a  cancer  survivor  is  "one  who  remains  alive  and  continues  to  function  during  and  after  overcoming  a  serious  hardship  or  life-threatening  disease.  A  person  who  has  been  diagnosed  with  cancer  is  considered  to  be  a  survivor  from  diagnosis  until  the  end  of  life."1  The  President's  Cancer  Panel  2003–2004  Annual  Report2  entitled  "Living  beyond  Cancer:  Finding  a  New  Balance"  defined  the  term  "survivor"  as  any  person  who  has  ever  been  diagnosed  with  cancer.  There  are  those,  however,  who  believe  that  a  cancer  survivor  is  someone  who  is  "cancer-free"  5  years  after  his  or  her  diagnosis  of  cancer,  and  others  who  reject  the  "label"  of  being  a  "cancer  survivor"  altogether.3  At  the  University  of  Texas  MD  Anderson  Cancer  Center  (MDACC),  we  follow  the  NCI  definition  of  a  cancer  survivor  and  consider  a  cancer  survivor  to  be  a  person  who  has  ever  been  diagnosed  with  cancer.
