What is Oncology Care?

Oncology care supports people living with cancer or recovering after cancer treatment. Cancer treatment can lead to weakness, fatigue, pain, reduced mobility, and difficulty with daily activities. With the right support, patients can focus on recovery while getting help with their everyday needs. Care may include medical monitoring, nursing support, physiotherapy, nutrition, medication management, and assistance with daily activities. The care plan depends on the patient’s condition and treatment journey.

How Does Rehabilitation Support Cancer Recovery?
About Oncology Care

How Does Rehabilitation Support Cancer Recovery?

Cancer treatment can affect strength, movement, and stamina. Rehabilitation focuses on helping patients manage these changes. Physiotherapy can support mobility, strength, and balance. Occupational therapy can help with everyday activities. Nutrition support helps address individual dietary needs during recovery. Regular medical monitoring also helps the care team track changes and adjust support when required. The goal is to help patients manage daily activities and gradually work towards better functions, based on their condition.
