Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to develop and evaluate a model for systematic and evidence-based cancer rehabilitation for people with esophageal and gastric cancer to provide conditions for a better quality of life and fewer cancer-related symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sweden has had a National Cancer Rehabilitation Programme since 2014. This emphasises that all people with cancer have the right to individualised rehabilitation and that the contact nurse has an important role to play in identifying needs and ensuring evidence-based interventions throughout the cancer process to promote rehabilitation. The needs for optimised rehabilitation vary according to several parameters such as the person's personal circumstances and preferences, social support and type of cancer disease.

Despite this and a growing number evidence within this area cancer rehabilitation is often not integrated in clinical care. The current cancer care focuses on medical and treatment related interventions. It is a challenge for health services to find models to identify and meet the increased need for cancer rehabilitation in a systematic and structured way throughout the cancer process, based on the specific needs of each individual. This study aims to develop and evaluate a model for systematic and evidence-based cancer rehabilitation for people with esophageal and gastric cancer to provide conditions for a better quality of life and fewer cancer-related symptoms.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Patients over 18 years of age with esophageal or gastric cancer, who are living in Southern Sweden, and who are planned to undergo curative surgery treatment at Skåne University Hospital. n=100 (anticipated)

evidence-based individualized rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

The experimental group will receive structured individualized assessment based on physical, psychological or social needs and will be offered evidence-based interventions to promote rehabilitation and recovery.

Historical control group

The historical control group consists of patients, living in Southern Sweden, who underwent esophageal or gastric cancer surgery between 2013 - 2021 at Skåne University Hospital. n=100 (anticipated)

No interventions assigned to this group
