[Including recovery in the care pathway after cancer]

Abstract

The period after cancer treatments have finished requires personalised services and support, based on the theoretical and clinical concept of recovery. The recovery phase comprises several dimensions: it is not because a patient is in remission or declared medically cured that he or she has recovered.
