The aim of this study was to investigate whether a complex rehabilitation program improved the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical capacities of young adult cancer survivors.  The authors conclude the program especially tailored for YACS seems to build positive health outcomes such as HRQOL and physical capacity in a long-term perspective.
