Answer: . Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last 1 year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both.
Cancer isn't always a one time event. Cancer can be closely watched and treated, but sometimes it never completely goes away. Therefore it is a chronic illness.
