ANS: A
Because survivors are at increased risk for developing a second cancer and/or chronic illness, it is important to educate them about lifestyle behaviors and the importance of participating in ongoing cancer screening and early detection practices. Lifelong cancer screening provides the opportunity to identify new cancers in early stages. Cancer screening should be discussed and should be done even if the cancer is cured.
