Objective: To conduct a randomized controlled trial and compare the effects on cancer survivors' quality of life in 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) cognitive-behavioral (once with those weekly). In addition, both interventions were compared no intervention. Methods: Participants (all types, medical treatment completed ≥3 months ago) randomly assigned to (n = 76) or 71). The nonintervention comparison group consisted 62 patients waiting list. Quality was measured using RAND-36. groups at baseline, after rehabilitation, 3-month follow-up, baseline 12 weeks later. Results: did not outperform role limitations due emotional problem (primary outcome) any other domains p > .05). Compared intervention, participants showed significant clinically relevant improvements outcome; effect size (ES) 0.66), functioning (ES 0.48), vitality 0.54), health change 0.76) < .01). Conclusions: Adding have additional beneficial life. group, improved PT training; CBT PT+CBT plus WLC waiting-list comparison; QoL life; ANOVA analysis variance; ES size.
