“I'm learning to live after cancer and its treatment”: Exploring the challenges of cancer survivorship in Arkansas
Our analysis highlights the importance of understanding the psychosocial and physical sequelae of cancer and its treatment. Our research helps fill significant gaps in the literature, improving the understanding of rural cancer survivorship. Nuanced understanding of survivors' experiences, using theory-driven qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, will continue to be critical for developing effective, evidence-based practices to meet the needs of survivors.
