<h2>The evolution of cancer treatment</h2> The way doctors treat cancer has changed significantly over the years, from the medications they use to detection and monitoring technologies. Better screening for breast, cervical, and prostate cancers means more cases are caught during the early stages when they’re localized and more likely to respond to treatment.

From 1991 to 2019, the cancer death rate fell by 32%, representing nearly 3.5 million fewer cancer deaths. But even with all of the advances in cancer therapy, doctors can’t cure all cancers. Still, when caught early, it’s often possible to treat cancer as a chronic illness instead of an acute one.

After a certain amount of time, chronic cancers will begin growing again. This is known as progression or recurrence. This happens because the cancer treatment can’t kill all cancer cells, which means they can continue growing in the body.

The types of tests they use and how often they order them depend on several factors, including:the type of cancer you havethe stage of cancer at your diagnosisthe treatment you received (or are receiving) Your healthcare team may also want to monitor you for possible long-term side effects of treatment. For example, your oncologist may recommend a yearly thyroid exam if you receive radiation therapy in the head, neck, or throat. Even while your cancer is in remission, it’s important to listen to your body.

Alternatively, your oncologist may choose only to use chemotherapy when your cancer is active again. In these cases, your doctor will rely on blood tests and imaging results to carefully monitor your cancer and determine when to start treatment again. Depending on how quickly recurrence occurs, your oncologist may choose to use the same treatment or a new medication to help get the disease back under control.

Embracing and managing those feelings can help you adapt to your “new normal.” Your healthcare team can serve as a resource to help you understand the specifics of your disease and treatment and answer questions about:your treatment optionswhat to expect long-term about your disease, treatment, and monitoringadditional specialists you may need to seemanaging the financial costs of long-term care Talking with a professional counselor or other people with chronic cancer in a support group may also help you process the emotional aspects of your disease and treatment. Your oncologist can help connect you with programs in your area, or you can look for in-person and online options through the Cancer Survivors Network website. Other strategies to help manage and cope with your chronic cancer include:deciding on your treatment goals (and realizing that these may change over time)making healthy lifestyle choices related to diet and physical activitydeveloping healthy stress management techniques, such as mindfulnessattending follow-up appointments with your oncologistgetting recommended screenings and tests Healthy coping mechanisms can help alleviate feelings of depression or anxiety, which are common in people with chronic cancer.
