The Importance of Rehabilitation Services for People Living with Cancer
An article published in Current Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Reports, emphasizes that people with cancer receiving palliative care often face a heavy symptom burden—including pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression—often compounded by functional decline. The authors highlight how integrating rehabilitation services with palliative care can enhance quality of life, improve outcomes for patients and caregivers, and reduce health care costs. They note that tailored physical activity interventions from a multidisciplinary team can be adapted to various settings and needs, effectively addressing symptoms and supporting patient independence.
