Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As cancer survival rates continue to improve, the importance of comprehensive rehabilitation strategies has never been more paramount. Our focus encompasses a wide array of topics, including, but not limited to, the development of rehabilitation care models, the management of impairments and disabilities, and strategies for effective symptom management in cancer survivors.
We invite researchers to submit cutting-edge research that provides insights into improving the quality of life for cancer survivors through evidence-based rehabilitation practices. We are particularly interested in studies that explore novel interventions, assess the efficacy of rehabilitation programs, and address the multifaceted needs of cancer survivors or those living with advanced or metastatic disease. Additionally, we welcome submissions that examine the integration of rehabilitation services within healthcare systems and their impact on patient outcomes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
