This trial is testing a new model for helping people with esophageal or stomach cancer recover after surgery. Rather than focusing only on medical treatment, the program provides personalized rehabilitation support tailored to each patient's individual needs and goals. The study wants to see if this structured approach improves quality of life and reduces cancer-related symptoms.
While Sweden officially recognizes that all cancer patients deserve rehabilitation support, this care is often not built into standard cancer treatment. This study aims to create and test a systematic way to identify and meet each patient's rehabilitation needs throughout their cancer journey, so more people can benefit from support beyond just surgery and chemotherapy.

If you join this study, you would receive a personalized rehabilitation program designed specifically for your needs after your cancer surgery. A contact nurse would work with you to identify what support you need—whether that's physical exercise, nutritional guidance, emotional support, or other resources—and help connect you to evidence-based services throughout your recovery. Your progress and outcomes would be compared to similar patients who had surgery before this program existed.
