Treatment of oncologic patients, aimed to remove or cease malignant cells growth and prevent metastases, has considerable side effects and is conducted on psychologic stress background. Rehabilitation measures hence get crucial importance. Rehabilitation of oncologic patients in complex treatment is a multi-stage continuous recovery process that includes various influences. Correct implementation of physical therapy factors in rehabilitation program causes no tumor growth and metastases, and sometimes inhibits tumor cells growth. On recommendations of sanatorium-and-spa treatment for oncologic patients, the complex promotes rapid recovery of disordered functions, activation of adaptive responses, psychologic and social adjustment.
