Abstract
Approximately 1.7 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in 2018. Cancer is a group of more than 100 diseases linked by the commonality of the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2018). More than 15.5 million Americans are living with a cancer diagnosis, a figure that is expected to rise to approximately 20 million by 2026 (ACS, 2017).
