Breast cancer survivors are known to suffer from remaining problems from their treatment after surgery. Despite numerous of studies evaluating the effect of various rehabilitation programs it is know that patients often receive rehabilitation recommendations that are general rather than individualised to their needs. The large amount of studies within this area have contributed to knowledge about potential beneficial rehabilitation interventions for these patients but there is still a lack of knowledge about how patients specific needs of rehabilitation can be identified and how health care can adjust and individualize rehabilitation to optimize rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of an intervention based on systematic screening of psychological distress as the basis for individualised support and rehabilitation following primary breast cancer surgery focusing on psychological , physical and health-economics outcomes. The aim is also to illuminate patients' and relatives' experiences and need of support during the rehabilitation.
