Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients and survivors are eligible to participate in this study, when they are between 18 and 60 years old, when they have a primary diagnosis of cancer and when this diagnosis is registered at UWV, as the main cause for their sick\-leave. Furthermore, they must be registered at UWV as a social security safety netter without an employment contract; they must have applied for a sickness benefit and they must be at sick leave for at least 6 months up to 60 months. Patients will be included if they finished intensive cancer treatment at least 6 weeks prior to the start of this study (based on self\-report by the patient), if their health status allows them to participate in the study (based on self\-report by the patient) and if there are no comorbidities of such extent (e.g., severe psychological or physical conditions) that would interfere with participating in this study (based on report from the patient\*s general practitioner). In case a patient is still undergoing intensive (cancer) treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or another type of intensive curative treatment), he/she will be included at a minimum of 6 weeks after finishing these treatments. Patients who are scheduled to undergo such treatments within the next 6 months will also be held to this criterion.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients will be excluded in case of comorbidity of such kind that participating in the tailored intervention program is not possible, in case of serious psychiatric disorders, in case of pregnancy, in case of a lack of knowledge of the Dutch language and/or in case of a conflict with UWV regarding a (previous) sickness benefit claim or a long\-term disability claim. Additionally, patients will be excluded if they are participating or signed up to be participating in a concurrent scientific study and/or re\-integration/rehabilitation program.
