Abstract

The aims of after-care in the follow-up are to lengthen survival time and to improve quality of life as well (fig. 1.1). Recurrence prevention, early detection of recurrences and therapy of disease recurrence (potentially curative follow-up measures) serve to lengthen survival time (fig. 1.3). Supportive, rehabilitative and palliative measures serve to improve quality of life and activities of daily living (fig. 1.2).
