Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Is TOP feasible and acceptable?
* Does TOP lead to improvements in quality of life in cancer survivors? Patients who were eligible for the program (n=54) were asked to participate in research as well. Everyone who participated in TOP (n=19) agreed to participate in this study as well. Those who declined participation (n=35), were asked to serve as controls, of which 16 agreed to do so.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cancer survivors taking part in the program
Eligble cancer survivors who agreed to take part in TOP and in the study.
Transdiagnostic Oncologic Program
The "Transdiagnostic Oncology Program" (TOP) is a 12-month interdisciplinary aftercare program aimed at improving cancer survivors' quality of life by addressing common clinical issues.
In the first three months, participants attended two weekly 1-hour exercise sessions led by physiotherapists. Once a week, this was followed by 1-hour mind-body therapy for stress reduction. A dietitian provided an initial group session on nutrition and advised at least two personal consultations.
Between months 3-6, exercise was reduced to once weekly, with encouragement to continue independent exercise and relaxation. A second informational session on stress and sleep hygiene was given.
After six months, participants continued independently, meeting the family doctor quarterly to evaluate progress.
For the participants who experienced some psychological problems, sessions with a psychologist at an institute specialized for psycho-oncology, were available.
Cancer survivors serving as controls
Eligble cancer survivors who declined to take part in TOP, but agreed to take part in the study. They serve as a convenience control group.
