Abstract
Cancer support and rehabilitation are suggested to be an integral part of cancer care strategies. This study
focuses on comparativeness of cancer support and rehabilitation programmes. The aim of this study was to analyse
available cancer support and rehabilitation programmes in Sweden presented as complementary to cancer rehabilitation at
cancer clinics. A multiple case study design was chosen in order to inquire the small number of existing supportive and
rehabilitative cancer programmes. Based on the structures, processes and outcomes of the nine included programmes,
three types of cancer support and rehabilitation programmes were identified: multimodal rehabilitation, comprehensive
cancer support and art therapy. Cancer support and rehabilitation programmes offer a variety of activities and therapies
which are highly valuable and relevant for people with cancer. The typology of cancer support and rehabilitation
programmes and comparability between programmes need further inquiry.
