Cancer can cause various effects on the body – the cancer itself on the body organ(s) or the side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy or post-surgery. These effects include fatigue, weakness, decreased endurance, joint pains, etc.
Side effects are experienced differently for every individual and a thorough individualized assessment should be carried out to determine the impairments in order to tailor a customized program specific to the patient’s needs.
Do note that the goals and focus of each treatment varies from one patient to another. Patients with early-stage cancer and are medically-stable may be recommended to go through heavier activities. Patients with late-stage cancer might be put through programs with symptoms management strategies to optimize their quality of life.
