Nurse-led Proactive Telephone Follow-up With Patients After Completion of Primary Cancer Treatment

The hypothesis is that nurse-led telephone follow-up will improve the quality of life in patients primarily curatively treated for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer.

Participants in both groups will respond to a survey regularly during one year from inclusion. The intervention group will get a telephone follow-up at predetermined intervals (1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months) while the control group will get the care as usual. The usual care means that no proactive support is offered to patients from health care while they wait for follow-up, but patients are of course allowed to contact health care if they needed.

Participants in both groups are asked to respond on a survey concerning their quality of life, feelings of anxiety and depression, perception of illness, and experienced symptoms and discomfort regarding to cancer. Additionally, the number of visits at the health care during the waiting for follow-up will be collected from both group.
