[Acute neurorehabilitation in neurooncology: Swiss Pilot Project and review of the litterature].
New treatment modalities in oncology, radiation oncology and surgery have led to a significant improvement in life expectancy for cancer patients. Some will however develop severe neurologic deficits that will impact their quality of life. To limit this impact, it is essential to offer optimal neurorehabilitation. In this context, a pilot project of early and intensive neurorehabilitation for brain tumor patients has been set up. A collaboration between the teams of neurooncology, acute neurorehabilitation and neurosurgery from the CHUV and the Clinique La Lignière allows an intensive and direct neurorehabilitation following neurosurgery. This neuroreeducation has allowed 75% of the patients included in this program to return home.
