* All adjuvant treatments are permitted as co-intervention during follow-up care
* Age 18 years or older
* ECOG Performance Status classification 0-2 at moment of inclusion
* Written and signed informed consent by the patient or patient's representative (with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient or patient's representative at any time without consequences to future medical care)

* Life expectancy shorter than 6 months at the end of curative intent treatment
* Evidence of recurrence after end of curative intent treatment and before randomization (4 months follow-up)
