Summary

INCAM-study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to test the effectiveness of psychoeducative intervention when offered in hospital setting as a component of routine breast cancer care. The hypotheses are; - that breast cancer patients participating in psychoeducative interventions focusing on coping will experience better health-related quality of life than those who participate in the hospital standardised psychoeducative intervention. - that coping styles are associated with the immune system.
