cancer patient
Tumor treatment recipient
A cancer patient is a person receiving medical treatment for cancer.
The term encompasses anyone from newly diagnosed individuals to those in long-term remission who continue monitoring: The oncology ward had thirty cancer patients.
Unlike "cancer survivor," which emphasizes having lived through the disease, cancer patient focuses on the ongoing medical relationship.
