Korean cancer survivors had difficulties in psychosocial adjustment even after the completion of anti-cancer treatments.

This qualitative study may expand the view of cancer survivorship in Korea by incorporating their voices and experiences to facilitate the development of a more holistic cancer survivorship program.
