What is comorbidity? -- How do we measure comorbidity? -- Cancer, chronic conditions and social disadvantage - the perfect storm -- Impact of comorbidity on cancer screening and diagnosis -- Impact of comorbidity on treatment decision making and outcomes -- Impact of cancer and chronic conditions on caregivers and family members -- Prevention of chronic conditions and cancer -- Chronic condition management models for cancer care and survivorship -- The management of poly pharmacy in people with cancer and chronic conditions -- Breaking the silos: Integrated care for cancer and chronic conditions -- Advocacy in cancer and chronic conditions -- Research -- Chronic conditions in survivors of child, adolescent, and young adult cancers -- Chronic conditions and cancer in the elderly -- Chronic conditions at the end of life.

This book addresses the growing problem of multimorbidity in cancer patients and survivors with the focus on how to best integrate the effective cancer care with the care of multiple chronic conditions. As cancer is more prevalent in older individuals, many patients with cancer also suffer from other chronic conditions that impact on the uptake, tolerance and outcomes of cancer treatment and their long term mortality and morbidity. In addition, cancer and its treatment increase the risk of future chronic conditions. Readers will examine the prevalence and predictors of chronic conditions in cancer, impact of chronic conditions on screening and treatment, evidence for preventative strategies that address both cancer and chronic conditions, emerging management and care integration strategies and directions for management of multimorbidity in special cancer populations - the very young, the very old and those at the end of life. Authored by clinicians and researchers from diverse expertise including epidemiology, sociology, hematology, medical oncology, palliative care, pharmacy and representing Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada and the Netherlands, the book brings an international perspective to a problem that affects all cancer settings. The book is going to be of interest to diverse professionals interested in cancer control including epidemiologists, public health researchers, policy makers as well as clinicians dealing with cancer patients within specialist cancer and non-cancer and primary care settings.
