Pre-planned guidelines will be followed. Contribution from relevant hospital professionals will be sought according to needs. Then the intervention will be offered in the primary health care taking advantage of existing services, e.g. home care, rehabilitation services, exercise groups etc. A community-based coordinating nurse will follow the patients with weekly contacts throughout RT and to end of intervention 8 weeks post-RT. To ensure that each patient's intervention is properly adjusted to changing needs, repeated clinical assessments will be performed by the end of RT and 4 weeks post-RT."
