[The Bonn Cooperative Tumor Aftercare Model. A contribution to the amelioration of tumor patient care in the practitioner's office (author's transl)]. / Kooperatives Tumornachsorgemodell Bonn. Ein Beitrag zur verbesserten Betreuung von Tumorpatienten in der Praxis des Hausarztes.

Problems of aftercare of tumor patients are so involved that one doctor cannot cope with them single-handed. Every doctor who has care of tumor patients is dependent on the cooperation of doctors of various faculties as with scarcely any other disease. The experience of a specialized multidisciplinary medical team is as indispensable in aftercare as the general medical supervision of the family doctor. In an action financed by the Federal Minister of Health a cooperative model was worked out intended to enable a qualitatively high level of aftercare for tumor patients over a wide field, making full use of the existing medical welfare structure.
