title: [Adult cancer rehabilitation].
abstract: The aim of cancer rehabilitation is to enable patients to reach and maintain the physical and psychosocial functional levels needed to attain an independent and meaningful life. Rehabilitation should be integrated in cancer programs. Taking a systematic approach aiming to identify patients in need is essential and should include coordination amongst professionals. Research may add knowledge to the sparse evidence of the effect of the various interventions and the need of rehabilitation when living with cancer. Patient, organisational and economic perspectives are important.
