Objective: Despite significant psychosocial morbidity, there are few controlled trials of psychological support for people with brain tumor. This study evaluated the efficacy of the Making Sense of Brain
Tumor (MSoBT) program, a home-based psychosocial intervention.
Design: A randomized controlled trial with a wait list condition

Doel: Het doel van huidige studie is inzicht verwerven in de doelen en de doelaanpassingen die patiënten zich stellen en doorvoeren na het doormaken van een behandeling tegen kanker.
Methode: Er wordt meegewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van een semigestructureerd interview om de doelen die (ex)patiënten met kanker zich stellen in kaart te brengen. Dit is gebaseerd op de personal project analysis van B. Little. Dit instrument wordt afgenomen bij 7 patiënten na een behandeling tegen kanker.
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationships among demographic, medical, and psychosocial factors and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in oncology populations. Method: A systematic search identified k = 116 relevant studies published between 1990 and 2012. Meta-analyses synthesized results from studies that reported data on correlates of PTSS (k = 26) or PTG (k = 48). A meta-analysis was performed for k = 5 studies reporting the correlation between PTSS and PTG.
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a common and severe problem amongst cancer survivors, but mechanisms to explain its development and maintenance are still lacking. The self-regulatory executive function (S-REF) model suggests that metacognitions and attentional bias to cancer-related words may explain high FCR. Thus, this study aimed to explore relationships between FCR, metacognitions and attentional bias in a mixed group of cancer survivors.
The objectives of this study are to examine levels of fatigue, depression and anxiety following diagnosis of a haematological malignancy, to determine the incidence of return to work (RTW) and long-term sickness absence (LTSA) during 1-year follow-up and to examine whether fatigue, depression and anxiety are associated with RTW and LTSA in this group of cancer patients.
The purposes of the present study were to investigate the role of resilience in the prediction of emotional response in breast cancer patients and to examine whether this association is specific for women undergoing this emotionally taxing condition or whether resilience is more generally associated with higher levels of emotional well-being.
Patients with potentially indolent prostate cancer (PC) can be managed with active surveillance (AS). Our objective was to analyse how anxiety and distress develop in men with untreated PC and whether highly anxious men quit AS.
