LIVING WITH AND BEYOND CANCER
A Study Evaluating aftercare of cancer patients
LEARN MORESURVIVORS' REHABILITATION EVALUATION AFTER CANCER
SURECAN
Some two million people in the UK are living with or beyond cancer. About a third of these patients report poor quality of life. The SURECAN study is looking at developing and testing a novel psychological intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for these patients. Through this intervention, we aim to put patients’ views about what they value most in their lives at the heart of the therapy, in order to improve their quality of life.
