Details

This was a study to find out more about the rehabilitation needs of people who’d had cancer treatment. The people taking part had a gynaecological cancer or a cancer in the upper part of the such as stomach cancer or oesophageal cancer.

Following cancer treatment, some people may have long term physical and emotional difficulties. These can affect their health and quality of life, making it difficult to return to the life they had before. Getting back to normal can be called a process of rehabilitation.

In this study, researchers wanted to learn more about the rehabilitation needs people have after cancer treatment.
