Funded Activity Summary

The changing landscapes of survivorship: A sociological study of cancer. Despite being the leading burden of disease confronting Australia, cancer is not well understood in terms of its multifaceted, complex and evolving impacts on individuals, families and communities. Surviving cancer is often not only about seeking cure but rather finding ways of living with it, presenting new and important challenges for individuals and their significant others. This project will examine the meanings and practice of 'cancer survivorship' through the lives of Australian's currently living with cancer. This project aims to advance a broad evidence-base for policy, practice and engagement nationally and internationally.
