AB  - Great efforts are being made in cancer treatment, with impressive improvement in survival. The situation concerning research and care for long-term problems and late effects in the growing population of cancer survivors, however, is unsatisfactory. Therefore, in the FiX survey 1,348 disease-free survivors about 4 years after diagnosis of different cancer types were asked to rate existing burdens and support received for them along a list of 36 potential problems. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed with the EORTC QLQ-C30. Determinants of burdens were explored using logistic regression analysis. While cancer survivors' global HRQoL, physical and role function ratings were comparable or better than age- and sex-matched reference values of the general population, emotional and cognitive function was worse, especially among women (p<.01). Most frequently reported problems with at least moderate burden were loss of physical performance (36.3
