Physiotherapy in oncology
Journal Title: Advances of Science for Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of the article is to present a physiotherapeutic approach to cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Poland. The development of medicine has made us more and more able to analyze the effects of pharmacotherapy, surgery and physiotherapy on the patient, and to develop the treatment that would be most effective. Still, the number of cancer patients is constantly increasing. Both prophylaxis, treatment and all methods to assist patients in the fight against cancer are important. For many years, hysiotherapy in oncology has been carried out to a small extent, or at all, which, according to scientific research, was an abnormal procedure. Physical activity in oncological patients can have a great impact on their health. It is important that acquiring knowledge about oncological patients is not only related to what kind of treatment can be offered but also what actions should be avoided so that the condition of the patient does not worsen.
