Abstract

Purpose of review: This review examines the literature on palliative rehabilitation for patients with advanced cancer, focusing on definitions, structures, processes, and outcomes.

Recent findings: Palliative cancer rehabilitation targets comfort and functional improvement for patients with limited rehabilitation potential across various settings. The palliative cancer rehabilitation team, typically led by a physician, coordinates symptom management and referrals to rehabilitation and other allied healthcare professionals as needed. The outcomes of palliative cancer rehabilitation varied widely by goals, settings, and interventions. Studies in hospice settings generally reported improved symptom control; inpatient rehabilitation had mixed functional outcomes; and outpatient palliative rehabilitation may contribute to enhanced functional and symptom outcomes, especially among patients with higher baseline function. Palliative cancer rehabilitation emphasizes a collaborative approach that integrates palliative care with rehabilitation interventions, aiming to enhance quality of life and address diverse patient needs. Further research and standardization are necessary to realize its full potential.

癌症患者的姑息康复：定义、结构、过程和结果。

综述目的：本综述研究了有关晚期癌症患者姑息康复的文献，重点关注定义、结构、过程和结果：癌症姑息康复的目标是在各种环境下为康复潜力有限的患者提供舒适和功能改善。癌症姑息康复团队通常由一名医生领导，负责协调症状管理，并根据需要将患者转诊至康复科和其他专职医疗人员。癌症姑息康复的结果因目标、环境和干预措施的不同而大相径庭。在临终关怀环境下进行的研究普遍报告症状控制有所改善；住院康复的功能结果好坏参半；门诊姑息康复可能有助于改善功能和症状结果，尤其是在基线功能较高的患者中。癌症姑息康复强调将姑息治疗与康复干预相结合的合作方法，旨在提高生活质量，满足患者的不同需求。要充分发挥其潜力，还需要进一步的研究和标准化。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, 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 international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
