To conduct a randomized controlled trial and compare the effects on cancer survivors’ quality of life in a 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) and cognitive-behavioral training (once weekly) with those of a 12-week group-based physical training (twice weekly). In addition, both interventions were compared with no intervention.

Methods:

Participants (all cancer types, medical treatment completed≥ 3 months ago) were randomly assigned to multidisciplinary rehabilitation (n= 76) or physical training (n= 71). The nonintervention comparison group consisted of 62 patients on a waiting list. Quality of life was measured using the RAND-36. The rehabilitation groups were measured at baseline, after rehabilitation, and 3-month follow-up, and the nonintervention group was measured at baseline and 12 weeks later.

Results:
