Most patients after cancer treatment need rehabilitation in order to return to their normal lives and improve their health. Cancer rehabilitation often takes place at the same clinic where you received cancer care, but this is not necessary because you can also go to another Cancer Center. You are welcome to use the Booking Health service if you want to select a clinic that offers the services of good specialists in cancer rehabilitation. On our website, you will find world-class hospitals, see prices, and compare the cost of medical services at different medical centers.
After cancer recovery and in the intermediate stages between different types of cancer treatment, patients may feel unwell psychologically and physically. They often have impaired metabolism, reduced physical activity, and impaired working capacity. Some people cannot return not only to work but also lose their self-care skills and need care.
Tumor removal surgery often causes the development of functional defects. For example, a person may have a urostomy or a colostomy, no stomach, larynx, etc. In this case, rehabilitation is required to adapt to the existing temporary or permanent deficiency, learn how to care for the stoma, eat properly, breathe, use a voice prosthesis, etc.
As a result, oncology rehabilitation is always aimed at restoring the patient's quality of life. Most people, after undergoing it, restore their self-care skills, and many of them return to work and an active social life. Studies also show that high-quality physical rehabilitation, which begins at the hospital and continues at home, not only improves the quality of life but also increases the survival rate of cancer patients.
Rehabilitation varies from patient to patient because of differences in oncological diseases, severity of cancer, treatment methods used, age of patients, remaining functional defects, etc.
Rehabilitation can take place on an outpatient or inpatient basis. Different countries use different approaches. For example, in Germany, most people spend 3 weeks in an inpatient facility for rehabilitation and training, while in the Nordic countries, outpatient recovery with daily visits to a rehabilitation center is preferred.
In all cases, rehabilitation treatment is provided by an interdisciplinary team. Your health will be in the safe hands of highly specialized doctors, cancer rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, physical therapy instructors, psycho-oncologists, and other specialists. Rehabilitation includes physical training, drug therapy, physiotherapy, psychological counseling, pedagogical activities, etc., depending on the patient's needs and his state of health.
