2. Describe Hispanic/Latino cancer disparities, incidence and survivorship.
3. Identify cultural values and beliefs that impact healthcare providers’ relationships with Hispanic/Latino survivors.
4. Identify specific physical, emotional and practical concerns of particular importance to Hispanic/Latino survivors.
5. Discuss ways nurses can support the physical, emotional and practical concerns of Hispanic/Latino survivors.
