What patients with advanced cancer experience as helpfulin navigating their life with a long‑term response: a qualitative study

Despite improved survival for people with advanced cancer due to new medical treatments, a growing group of long-term responders (LTRs) has to learn to live with uncertainties that afect several life domains. At the core of their experience, they neither feel like a patient nor feel healthy. Despite growing awareness of LTRs’ experiences, learning more about how they cope with their long-term response can provide insight into how to best support them. Our study aimed to gain a deeper understanding what LTRs experience as helpful in navigating life with a long-term response.
