Background summary
The prevalence of cancer is rising. The increasing incidence of cancer in
general, the aging of the population, and more effective treatment all
contribute to this rapid increase. The effects of treatments is becoming more
important as patients live longer after diagnosis. The objective of this study
is to measure quality of life, health care use and morbidity (like fatigue,
anxiety and depression) of patients diagnosed at least 2 years ago. These
variables will be compared between the different treatment modalities but will
also be compared between our study population and the Dutch population.
