Aim: To identify the associated factors of hope during treatment in cancer patients.
Background: Hope is very important to cancer patients at all stages of the disease process. Hope is seen as an important coping mechanism.
Purpose: In 2017 almost 25,000 Belgians between 40 and 60 years (38% of new diagnoses) were diagnosed with cancer.

This implies that oncology care should also take into account the impact cancer may have on (the relationship with) older parents.
