Oncology hospital in our clinic "K+31" provides rehabilitation treatment and rehabilitation of patients after operations to remove malignant tumors, after radiation therapy, after chemotherapy and others types of cancer treatment. We accept patients with cancer of any type and stage. We carry out the timely start of medical rehabilitation, apply an integrated approach, develop individual programs.

Rehabilitation for oncological diseases is a complex process of step-by-step treatment and control over patients who have undergone surgery for cancer. Depending on the type of cancer and the degree of development of the disease, oncologists may pursue different goals of rehabilitation and apply different methods for recovering patients and returning them to normal life.

Objectives and principles of rehabilitation of cancer patients

Over the past decades, doctors have learned to cure and achieve stable remission in more than 60% of people diagnosed with various types of cancer. By diagnosing malignant neoplasms in the early stages and supplementing cancer treatment with various sets of restorative procedures, the specialists of the "K+31" clinic successfully return their patients to normal life and work.

The most important principles that guide doctors in our clinic: surgery and recovery after oncological diseases should be carried out:

  • timely (diagnosis of early stages of tumor formations);
  • step by step;
  • successively and continuously;
  • individually (tumor stage, morphology, degree of anatomical disorders, nature of cancer treatment);
  • complex (cancer treatment + rehabilitation period + constant monitoring).

Oncologists divide cancer patients into three groups:

  1. with a favorable prognosis (stage 1-2 cancer is cured in 90% of cases) - usually requires functionally sparing surgical (organ-preserving) and conservative treatment of cancer;
  2. with a difficult prognosis (3rd stage of cancer) - requires removal of the tumor using organ-disrupting operations (gastrectomy, mastectomy, pneumonectomy, laryngectomy, etc.) in combination with radiation therapy and chemotherapy;
  3. with an unfavorable prognosis (4th stage of cancer) - requires slowing down the spread of the neoplasm with the help of radiation and chemotherapy and complex organ-destroying operations (tracheostomy, gastrostomy) with relief of pain.

Depending on the identified group of oncology in a patient, rehabilitation after oncological surgery has different goals - complete recovery and restoration of working capacity (group 1 patients), maintaining the patient and slowing down the development of the disease (group 2) or palliative effects (pain reduction, localization of complications and mental disorders).

For the second and third groups of patients, oncological surgery is organ-destroying in nature and leads to disability. At the same time, there are no clear boundaries for treatment, and the goals of rehabilitation may vary depending on the condition and phase of cancer development in the patient.

How is the rehabilitation of cancer patients carried out

Rehabilitation after surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other cancer treatments should be carried out comprehensively. In each specific situation, depending on the stage of cancer, the location of the tumor formation, the method of therapy, the state of health before surgery and the condition of patients after the course of treatment, our medical center develops individual rehabilitation measures for restorative treatment. Rehabilitation of patients includes the restoration of not only the physical health of the patient, but also psychological, including psychological consultations for his relatives.

The program of rehabilitation treatment and rehabilitation after cancer therapy often includes physiotherapy exercises (exercise therapy), kinesitherapy, breathing exercises, various types of massage (lymphatic drainage, electrostatic field, pressure therapy), physiotherapy, ergotherapy, psychotherapy, treatment with medications, orthotics etc. An oncologist, neurologist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, physiotherapist, speech therapist and other specialists work with patients.

Rehabilitation of cancer patients is aimed at eliminating any complications that could arise during the illness and after cancer treatment in different body systems: in the circulatory system, in the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs and other respiratory organs. It is designed to reduce side effects in patients after chemotherapy and other aggressive cancer treatments such as radiation therapy. In some cases, restorative treatment consists in relieving symptoms, disease states, normalizing psycho-emotional health, motor functions and functions of organs and tissues of patients.

Rehabilitation of patients after surgery, radiation therapy or after chemotherapy allows you to restore lost functions or movements. In each case, a unique set of exercises is selected, which take place in a special room equipped with everything necessary for this.

Palliative treatment is indicated for cancer patients with advanced cancer, when therapy does not completely eliminate the cancer process. It is aimed at relieving patients of pain, reducing the symptoms of cancer and the maximum possible prolongation of life and the normalization of the mental state of patients.

Why do we need rehabilitation of cancer patients

Many methods of cancer treatment, be it surgery, chemotherapy or other methods of drug therapy (immunotherapy, hormone therapy, etc.), radiation therapy, harm not only cancer cells, but often also healthy tissues of the patient. Which leads to the appearance of side effects and complications after cancer treatment. Violated the functions of various body systems, structures of organs and tissues. When an organ affected by cancer is removed, a problem arises with the implementation of the function of this organ. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy cause such side effects as hair loss, skin disorders, loss of appetite, numbness, pain in the limbs, weakness, dizziness, respiratory, digestive, urination disorders, unsteadiness when walking, etc. As a result, the general condition of patients worsens after several courses of such cancer treatment, their working capacity and often the ability to serve themselves decreases, their mental state worsens and social activity decreases, depression develops and the need for psychological help develops.

Rehabilitation and rehabilitation after cancer therapy in our medical center helps to eliminate many side effects, restore the functioning of the body's organs, eliminate possible complications, and reduce pain. During the rehabilitation of patients, measures are taken that relieve swelling, promote rapid hair growth, restore joint mobility, muscle tone, and skin disorders. In the process of rehabilitation treatment of oncological patients, their breathing and blood supply improve, the symptoms of anemia are eliminated, and activity is restored. If the cancer treatment was radical and aggressive, the patient is helped to regain the ability to self-service, his household and social activity.

Rehabilitation after cancer of the lungs, bladder, organs of the reproductive system, after cancer of the breast, cancer of the prostate, intestines and organs of the gastrointestinal tract, after cancer of the bones, muscles, joints or skin, tumors of the brain or spinal cord is necessary for all patients to return to as normal a life as possible.

Especially necessary is the rehabilitation treatment and rehabilitation of patients after cancer therapy at the last stage with an extensive metastatic process. Many end-stage cancers are not amenable to surgical treatment. They have a serious impact on the affected organ and structures adjacent to it, as well as on all organs and tissues to which metastases have spread. In this case, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of both - chemoradiotherapy, is used, which can only reduce tumors, relieve symptoms and prolong the patient's life and, unfortunately, have unpleasant side effects. In such a situation, the role of restorative treatment increases, which is palliative in nature, and is designed to improve the patient's life as much as possible and reduce the degree of side effects of therapy.
