Functional recovery from cancer
Supportive care is fundamental to cancer care, to prevent or mitigate functional decline. Much is still unknown about how supportive care interventions should be tailored to achieve specific outcomes or to match individual patients' needs.
The goal of our research is to understand how functional impairments caused by cancer(-treatment) impact peoples' functioning in daily life, how these impairments can be prevented or mitigated by targeted and timely offered rehabilitation interventions - exercise in particular; and to support implementation of successful interventions into usual care.
