More than 32,000 Danes are diagnosed with cancer every year. The cause of the cancer is unknown in many of these cases but there is every indication that almost 80% of all cancer is related to lifestyle or environmental factors. The Danish Cancer Society focuses on how to improve the rehabilitation of cancer patients. Cancer patients in need of rehabilitation and treatment of long-term sequelae must have their needs systematically assessed and should be offered a plan for rehabilitation and treatment of long-term sequelae.
