title: [Physical therapy in tumor patients. Possible treatment procedures and their indications].
abstract: Various symptoms in tumor patients can be alleviated or eliminated by physiotherapeutic measures. However, one cannot assume that these methods are principally without risk. Even a slight risk of tumour cell dissemination must be considered individually. In this study the treatment possibilities of pains due to tumors or scars, of the loss of function due to scars and partial paralysis and of edemas due to thromboses and prevention of lymph outflow are presented.
