Summary

The increase in the rate of cancer survivors following diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumours is one of the most important successes in modern medicine. There is also increasing interest from specialists in how lifestyle changes contribute to this beneficial trend. The intervention is focused namely on nutrition, physical activity and smoking. The effects of intervention may be influenced by the optimal timing of patients’ motivation to adopt such changes.

Key words:
cancer – patient – lifestyle – motivation
