Abstract

With the favorable trend regarding survival of cancer in the Western world, there is an increasing focus among patients, clinicians, researchers, and politicians regarding cancer survivors’ health and well-being. The number of survivors grows rapidly, and more than 3% of the adult populations in Western countries have survived cancer for 5 years or more. Cancer survivors are at increased risk for a variety of late effects after treatment, some life-threatening such as secondary cancer and cardiac diseases, while others mainly have negative impact on daily functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The latter factors include fatigue, anxiety disorders, sexual problems, insomnia, and reduced work ability, while depression does not seem to be more common among survivors than in the general population. Life style factors are highly relevant for cancer survivors concerning risk of relapse and somatic comorbidity. The field of cancer survivorship research has grown rapidly. How to best integrate the knowledge of the field into clinical practice with adequate follow-up of cancer survivors at risk for developing late effects, is still an unresolved question, although several models are under consideration.
