Addressing Disability in Cancer Survivors.
Editorial Article
Overview
abstract
In the article that accompanies this editorial, Cao and colleagues present the prevalence and correlates of mobility and self-care disability from self-identified cancer survivors in the 2017–2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and show that over one quarter of cancer survivors reported a mobility disability. This work paves the way for research on the prevention, mitigation, and resolution of cancer-related disability, and emphasizes the importance of incorporating multi-level and multidimensional measures of disability in population research.
