Abstract
To the Editor: The broadly accepted definition of a cancer survivor recognises that the survivorship begins at diagnosis.1 However, survivorship care pathways conventionally begin at completion of active treatment, presenting a challenge for addressing survivorship needs at diagnosis and for people living with incurable cancer.2 A revision of the concept of cancer survivorship is needed, placing the survivor at the centre of a dynamic experience of life after a cancer diagnosis and opening up the survivorship experience to persons at any stage of cancer and at any phase of their disease trajectory.
