Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators plan to investigate the consequences of late effects (radiation-induced survivorship syndromes) after radiotherapy in Gynecological and Prostate cancer survivors on return to work (Yes/No) and if RTW happened then time to RTW. In addition, whether general health, type of work (occupation), work environment factors, individual factors (lifestyle, socioeconomic status etc.), contribute to the adverse late effects of radiotherapy and these Gynecological cancer survivors have a higher risk for disability pension/long term sickness absence (NOT Return to work).
