Quality of Life and Survivorship in Lymphoma.

Quality of life can vary from diagnosis through survivorship though some physical, social, and emotional effects may be persistent. Incorporation of patient reported outcomes enables recognition of factors that significantly impact quality of life. A greater understanding of quality of life and survivorship issues has generated momentum for practice change, improving education, and designing behavior related interventions. Patients with lymphoma face many challenges as they navigate their cancer experience. There is a tremendous opportunity to build upon this work through well-designed prospective longitudinal studies aimed at identifying vulnerable patient groups and impactful points of intervention during survivorship.
