Abstract

Purpose of review: Our aim is to provide a historical review of the implementation of a cancer rehabilitation center in Brazil, active since 2008. We expect this data to support the implementation of other centers both in Brazil and worldwide.

Recent findings: Cancer rehabilitation delivery is fragmented and punctuated in most cases, and cancer rehabilitation centers are rare. Data on how to establish rehabilitation centers could facilitate the implementation of new centers. We provide data on what was our strategy for hiring, establishing treatment protocols, barriers, and facilitators. We also provide figures on the number of each rehabilitation specialist, as well as the general standard operating procedures of our rehabilitation center, among other features.

Summary: Establishing cancer rehabilitation centers in a middle-income country is feasible. We expect that our experience may facilitate the establishment of new cancer rehabilitation services and the improvement of current ones.

在中等收入国家建立癌症康复服务:来自巴西的经验。

回顾的目的:我们的目的是对巴西自2008年以来活跃的癌症康复中心的实施情况进行历史回顾。我们希望这些数据能够支持巴西和全球其他中心的实施。最近的研究发现:癌症康复服务在大多数情况下是碎片化和间断的，癌症康复中心很少。关于如何建立康复中心的数据可以促进新中心的实施。我们提供了关于我们的招聘策略、建立治疗方案、障碍和促进者的数据。我们还提供每位康复专家的人数，以及我们康复中心的一般标准操作程序，以及其他功能。总结:在中等收入国家建立癌症康复中心是可行的。我们期望我们的经验可以促进建立新的癌症康复服务，并改善现有的服务。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal serves those for whom an understanding of emerging knowledge in the rehabilitation sciences is essential to optimizing health, function, and participation in individuals with physical disabilities. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include amputee rehabilitation; interventional pain management; musculoskeletal rehabilitation; pediatric rehabilitation; spinal cord injury rehabilitation; stroke rehabilitation; swallowing disorders; and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
