“…Lymphoma survivors also reported worse social functioning relative to the general population [19]. However, the mental component summary (which in the SF-36 includes emotional and social but not cognitive function) did not differ significantly from the general population in any of these eight studies, although impaired functioning relative to controls was noted on some subscales [19,20]. The mental component summary is more reliable and comprehensive than the subscales it comprises.…”

“…These articles are summarised in Table II. Eight articles covering six datasets [15,17,[19][20][21][22][23][24] made these comparisons using the SF-36 health [10]. In all eight articles, lymphoma survivors reported worse physical functioning relative to the general population even when controlling for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [15].…”

“…Thus, short term survivors seem to have a different association between QoL and T stage compared to long-term survivors. The different QoL of short and long time survivors have also been suggested as to patients with Hodgkins disease [35]. Loss of patients between first and second interview is main caused by high age, new serious disease or death, but so far within this study each of these groups represent small groups.…”

“…4 In addition, long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors experience a lower general and mental health and feel less vital compared to an age-matched normative sample. 5 Finally, endometrial cancer survivors treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy feel less vital compared to patients treated with surgery alone. 6 The consequences of these effects on health care utilization of long-term cancer survivors have rarely been studied.…”

In the present study, self-reported health care utilization of cancer survivors is compared with those of an age-and gender-matched normative population and predictors of health care utilization are identified. A population-based, cross-sectional survey among 1893 long-term survivors of endometrial and prostate cancer and malignant lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's) diagnosed between 1989 and 1998 was conducted using the cancer registry of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre South. Cancer survivors visited their general practitioner somewhat more often compared to the age and gender-matched general Dutch population but this effect was not always statistically significant. In addition, they visited their medical specialist significantly more often. Survivors only sporadically (0-3%) visited or required a dietician, sexologist, oncology nurse, pastor, creative therapy or recovery program. Contact with a psychologist, physiotherapist and other cancer survivors took place somewhat more often. Patients visited a medical specialist less often if they were diagnosed with endometrial cancer (OR 5 0.2; 95% CI 5 0.1-0.5), if they were diagnosed between 10-15 years ago (OR 5 0.6; 95% CI 5 0.1-0.5) and if they were not married or divorced (OR 5 0.5; 95% CI 5 0.3-0.9). Contact with a psychologist was related to having a university or college degree (OR 5 3.6; 95% CI 5 1.3-9.4). Cancer survivors visited their specialist more often compared to the normative population. Changes in health care, such as less administrative work for the specialist and more efficiency, are probably necessary in order to cope adequately with the increasing demand on the system.
