Oncological Rehabilitation & Aftercare - General

Support and rehabilitation during and after your treatment are a fundamental part of your medical treatment at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. If you experience limitations in your day-to-day life as a result of your condition or treatment, you may qualify for multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment. 

Rehabilitation during treatment

To prevent symptoms or treat them, we can start rehabilitation treatment. Rehabilitation for cancer is not limited to the phase after your treatment. You can start during treatment to limit the problems you face during the therapy and to better undergo the treatment. Even if you know you cannot be cured of your cancer, you can benefit from rehabilitation treatment to improve your quality of life. 

When to consider rehabilitation?

If you are experiencing physical, mental, spiritual, or social symptoms or problems, our multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment may be an option for you. Your case manager oncological rehabilitation and rehabilitation specialist can consider the type of rehabilitation treatment that is most suitable for you. 

Make an appointment?

if you want guidance before, during, or after your treatment, please notify your practicing physician, clinical nurse specialist, or nurse. They can refer you to our Rehabilitation medicine department. We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about potential problems you may have encountered at various stages of your treatment. This allows your practicing physician to refer you as early as possible so you can receive the right treatment.
