Cancer and its treatment often cause physical, mobility, and cognitive problems. These problems can make it harder to do daily activities, return to work, or continue cancer treatment. They can have a lasting effect on your health and overall quality of life. Cancer rehabilitation can help with these problems.

Cancer rehabilitation is a supportive health care program. The goals of cancer rehabilitation are:

• Help you stay as active as possible and participate in family, work, and other life roles

• Lessen the side effects and symptoms of cancer and its treatment

• Help you stay as independent as possible

• Improve your quality of life
