Rehabilitation Management of Five Common Clinical Problems in Pediatric Cancer: a Narrative Review
摘要
The objective of this study is to analyze five of the most common symptoms and treatment-related conditions in childhood cancer, along with their diagnosis and management within rehabilitation services.
Recent FindingsThere is limited evidence on rehabilitation in pediatric cancer and the management of clinical problems in this population. Exercise is one of the non-pharmacological tools with the strongest supporting evidence; however, other approaches lack robust data. Therefore, it is essential to understand the current state of knowledge and define directions for future research.
SummaryDespite strong evidence supporting rehabilitative interventions, these services remain underutilized in pediatric oncology. Interventions for symptoms and treatment-related conditions such as fatigue, pain, depression, peripheral neuropathy, and constipation are essential for early detection and optimal management. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the current evidence on non-pharmacological treatments and highlights the areas where further research is needed.
