Abstract:
Cancer rehabilitation offers clear benefit across the cancer trajectory, yet delivery remains inconsistent, reactive, and poorly aligned with patient needs. Although strong evidence supports rehabilitation across diverse populations and settings, many patients still do not receive the right services at the right time to prevent avoidable functional decline. This gap reflects not limited capability but shortcomings in care-delivery design: substantial cancer-related disability is now known to be preventable, and missed rehabilitation opportunities contribute to avoidable institutionalization, excess utilization, and reduced quality of life.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
