Abstract:
An increasing number of individuals diagnosed with cancer survive and die of a new cancer or other lifestyle-related diseases. With the intent to encourage and assist oncologists in promoting lifestyle changes to improve health of their patients, this article sums up the evidence behind a brochure including ten one-line health messages in Danish inspired by the American initiative Cancer Survivors' Eight Ways to Stay Healthy After Cancer.
