This review begins by exploring the escalating global population of cancer survivors, drawing inspiration from Dr. Lidia Schapira’s Keynote Conference on Survivorship 1.0 and Survivorship 2.0 Programs. It presents and discusses the transformed and constantly evolving landscape of cancer care, emphasizing patient-centric strategies within Cancer Survivorship Programs, including connection, support, and education. While spotlighting cancer recurrence surveillance, concerns arise regarding potential oversights in addressing the enduring mental and physical health impacts. The study further navigates mental health challenges faced by survivors providing strategies to mitigate them, insights into promising research areas, such as Precision Medicine’s role in de-escalating oncology therapies, as well as advocating for early cancer awareness and referrals to supportive services. Dr. Schapira’s insights also extend to examining online resources, emphasizing their role in educating healthcare practitioners and future generations in cancer care. Additionally, the paper aims to identify knowledge gaps in cancer care and envision future developments toward accurate, holistic care, improving survivor quality of life, and enhancing mental and physical well-being.
