As frightening as a cancer diagnosis can be, the good news is that survival rates continue to improve, the number of cancer survivors continues to grow and the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has resources to help patients even after they are cancer-free.

“It is important for survivors to be aware of the risk of long-term complications and to stay engaged with their health care providers while making healthy lifestyle choices,” said Dr. Smita Bhatia, senior scientist at the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center and director of the Institute for Cancer Outcomes and Survivorship at the UAB Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine.
