Article Synopsis
- The study examines how healthy adolescents in South Korea perceive cancer and adolescent cancer survivors, highlighting the need for better healthcare policies for this growing population.
- Less than 10% of surveyed adolescents believed that cancer is contagious, with many recognizing cancer as preventable and differentiating it from other diseases like tuberculosis and measles.
- While they support the idea of welcoming adolescent cancer survivors back to school and work, the respondents showed mixed feelings about interacting with them, indicating a gap that could be addressed through education.
Purpose: Since identified in December 2019, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a global impact on medical resource use and costs for patients with cancer in South Korea. This study aimed to identify the medical use and costs among patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, to predict these patterns in South Korea in the future.

We aimed to investigate the characteristics of cancer survivors and the effects of the services of the Korean Cancer Survivorship Center Pilot Project launched by the South Korean government on distress.

Purpose: We evaluated public attitudes towards cancer survivors and identified the characteristics associated with these attitudes in Korea.
