Oncology, lymphology and beyond

Beschrijving

The clinical and scientic knowledge about oncological rehabilitation, chronic edema and scar management has signicantly increased in recent years. Unfortunately, physiotherapeutic approaches have not evolved at the same rate, and a gap remains between the scientic evidence and clinical practice.Oncology, lymphology and beyond bridges this gap it provides a physiotherapeutic point of view on a patient-centred care model by integrating both scientic and clinical evidence. In comprehensible terms, it offers both evidence-based methodology and scientic background information, which are highly relevant to all health-care professionals involved in the care for patients with cancer, cancer-related chronic edema and surgical scars. Practical take-home messages will help physiotherapists and other health-care workers enhance the quality of their patient care.
