Abstract In most cases, cancers are now considered a chronic, not fatal, disease and require not only reconsideration of management tactics, but also assessment of quality of life in patients. Cancer rehabilitation should include all the principles of general rehabilitation, be comprehensive and contain psychological, social, and occupational components in addition to a medical one. The package of medical rehabilitation procedures includes the body’s detoxification, dietotherapy, phytotherapy, physiotherapy, and exercise therapy. To assess and qualitatively undertake rehabilitation of a patient, it is first necessary to make a rehabilitation diagnosis formulated in the categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Oncology remains the only medical field in our country that does not have a rehabilitation direction in its structure, except for reconstructive plastic surgery. In Kazakhstan, there are no rehabilitation rooms for cancer patients in the facilities that provide primary health care and rehabilitation units in specialized oncology facilities. Therefore, in the authors’ opinion, there is a need for further investigations in this area and for the introduction of a rehabilitation and medical examination management program for cancer patients.
