Cancer rehabilitation is a broad term that describes programs that help patients recover- physically, emotionally, and mentally -- from cancer treatment. Often this includes evidence-based practices like strength training to improve muscle mass and flexibility that is lost during treatment, classes to learn about dietary changes for cancer prevention and sessions with counselors or other specialists to learn about mindfulness and other strategies to cope with life after cancer.
