Hospitals rarely provide rehabilitation to the cancer patients. This approach is associated with the old fashioned postulates that cancer patients must avoid massage, physical training and physiotherapy as they contribute to the growth of the tumor. This approach was established in the 50s; it is still supported by many oncologists and is associated with the misunderstanding of the nature of cancer biology. The tumor growth induced by the physiotherapy and massages that last for three to four months varies from 1 to two per cent as related to the known growth of the malignancy, while contemporary targeted and oncoimmune therapy can reduce the size of the tumor by 30 to 90% at one session. The benefits of the rehabilitation that involves up-to-date physiotherapy and physical training significantly overpass the harm from their use in the oncological clinic. Our hospital widely uses contemporary rehabilitation programs of the sanatorium resort care (excluding mud and radon baths) and medical rehabilitation.

However, our rehabilitation focuses on the restoration of the immunopoiesis (anti-cancer inborn and acquired immunity), hemopoiesis and restoration of the electrolytic-protein balance of the body after extensive surgical interventions, chemo- and radiotherapy and immunotherapy. This must be the somatic rehabilitation of the organs and tissues involving contemporary nutritive support, restoration of the energy potential and the patient’s metabolitic balance and homeostasis. Hence, we use the expanded rehabilitation involving pharmacogenetic methods of treatment. Our hospital is the first to use the novel approaches of bioengineering that involve the focused ultrasound and structural-resonant therapy in cancer cases.
