The problem of cancer incidence is a global problem. Better and better medical care and modern methods of treatment make the effects of treatment high. The invasiveness of the procedures, introducing systemic methods, causes traumatization of tissues, which causes disability. The paper presents the proposed method of physiotherapeutic treatment in a patient treated for colorectal cancer. A review of the available literature and own experiences were used for the study It can be concluded from the available literature that in the case of cancer treatment, treatment should be interdisciplinary and the use of physiotherapy is necessary at every stage of treatment.
