Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of cancer patients is a growing concern due to the increase in incidence worldwide. Cancer patient assessment has benefited from advances in research and data analytics, allowing for a more accurate assessment of patient impairment and health status.
Rehabilitation approaches play an important role in enhancing the health status and quality of life of these patients. Cancer survivors often face several physical, emotional and psychosocial challenges resulting from their diagnosis and treatment. In this sense, rehabilitation programs offer tailored interventions to approach these impairments, aiming to restore function, alleviate symptoms and increase the quality of life.
However, the heterogeneity of cancer patient profiles represents a current healthcare challenge that is leading thousands of clinicians to demand further research into the impairment related to different cancer etiologies, stages and treatments.
This Special Issue aims to outline the latest research innovations in the management of cancer patients, collating research that highlights these innovations and their impact on cancer patients' outcomes. From early detection to effective rehabilitation, emerging rehabilitation approaches are transforming the way healthcare professionals approach cancer disease. This compilation of knowledge promises to enrich clinical practice and improve the management of cancer patients worldwide.
