Psychosocial Support for Cancer Survivors Needs Strengthening
"While one in four cancer survivors participates in a support group after diagnosis, use of support groups varies considerably by cancer type, and few survivors receive referrals to such programs from their physicians, according to a new study. Published in the June 15, 2007 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study finds that cancer survivors are more likely to attend a support group compared to people with other chronic conditions, but there is little active support for such use by treating physicians."
Mammography Rates Declining In the United States
"Since 2000 mammography rates have declined significantly in the United States, according to a new study."
