Received grant in 2020

DCCC has funded 200,000 DKK to the project.

The purpose of this project is to develop and test a follow-up model for patients after surgery for esophageal and stomach cancer. The model targets handling of adverse effects, and aims at improving the patients' quality of life and functional level. This assumed effect will be tested in a national clinical trial.

The project will further build the national network required to perform the project, including patient-involving activities, development and implementation of the follow-up model, as well as preparation of the national effect-study.
