Abstract

Advancements in early detection and treatment have caused an improvement in cancer survival rates. However, 86% of survivors experience sequelae, including fatigue, pain, tight surgical scars, lymphoedema, reduced functional capacity, sexual dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. About 30% of these patients need physical rehabilitation.
