To Live Better After Prostate Cancer Treatment:

Summary

It is evident that patients receiving treatment for cancer have symptoms that often are undetected. Furthermore, many survivors from cancer have ongoing poor health and well-being and long-term rehabilitation and support should not be neglected to prevent recurrence and increase survival. There are good reasons to believe that routine collection of relevant patient-reported symptoms facilitates person-centered care where the patient is a participatory member of the team. This study aims to pilot-test a supportive intervention in primary care for six months during the first year after primary treatment for prostate cancer in primary care and compare it to standard care only. The intervention consists of symptom reporting and self-management in an app in combination with health dialogues with a study-specific nurse at a primary care centre.
