Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Many observational studies have shown an association between a healthy lifestyle and a lower risk of cancer recurrence. However, in daily care little or no attention is paid to the lifestyle of cancer patients. Only 40% of the Dutch cancer patients meet the daily exercise norm of 30 minutes a day, and only 10 % of the patients meet the World Cancer Research guidelines for the consumption of meat, vegetables and fruit. Less than 20% of the patients indicate they receive nutritional advice. There is a considerable room for improvement of lifestyle medicine.
However, there is a lack of proven effective lifestyle programs for cancer patients. In this intervention study, 250 colon cancer patients and bladder cancer patients will be offered a lifestyle program after completion of treatment with curative intent. Their outcomes will be compared with at least 750 patients receiving usual care. The lifestyle program covers 24 months: the first 3 months of intensive counseling in small groups and 21 months of aftercare. During this program, attention is paid to exercise, nutrition, relaxation and sleep.
Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 3, 12 and 24 months. Outcomes will be quality of life, healthcare utilization, lifestyle behavior, comorbidity and cancer recurrence.
