Oncology Rehabilitation

Oncology Rehabilitation - Rehabilitation for cancer patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. Oncology rehabilitation can encompass physical therapy (e.g., exercise, flexibility), occupational therapy (e.g., activities of daily living, or ADLs), speech and language pathology, and manual therapy (e.g., massage therapy). Oncology rehabilitation aims to help cancer patients maintain strength, energy, and physical independence, and improve their quality of life.
