Abstract

The Danish SEQUEL cohort is a study that aims to investigate the inequalities and late effects experienced by cancer survivors in Denmark. The cohort includes adult survivors of breast, prostate, lung, colon and rectum cancer, melanoma, and lymphoma. It provides comprehensive data on tumor characteristics, cancer treatment, educational level, income, cohabitation, comorbidity, and more. The study has found that cancer survivors, especially those with lower education levels, have a greater need for healthcare services and experience impaired functioning and severe symptoms. The data from the cohort is not publicly available, but researchers can contact the principal investigator for collaborative research projects. The study has been approved by the National Board of Health Data and has received funding from various organizations. [Extracted from the article]
