title: [Physical therapy in cancer patients].
abstract: Malignant diseases and the resulting disorders may lead to the prescription of physical therapy. In addition, cancer patients may suffer from orthopaedic diseases which are treated by physical therapy, e.g. low back pain. In this review, cancer epidemiology, the prevailing forms of physical therapies, their applications in cancer patients, and possible cautions are being discussed.
