Description:
This two-day course provides physiotherapists with a comprehensive and practical introduction to oncology rehabilitation, grounded in current evidence and clinical guidelines.
The course addresses the impact of cancer and its treatments on physical functioning.
Participants will gain insight into how cancer and its treatment affect exercise capacity, body composition, and overall functioning across the disease trajectory and vice versa.
The course emphasizes the translation of evidence into practice, including exercise prescription, safety considerations, and behavioral strategies to support long-term adherence.
Interactive elements include case-based reasoning using structured cases and participant-submitted cases.

Course goals:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the impact of cancer treatments
• Recognize and assess treatment-related side effects relevant for physiotherapy practice
• Apply international guideline recommendations for exercise oncology
• Design individualized exercise programs across the cancer trajectory
• Apply safety principles and identify contraindications
• Use behavioral strategies to support motivation and adherence
• Apply clinical reasoning using structured and participant-based cases

Course contents:
• Overview of cancer and treatment trajectory
• Cancer treatments with focus on chemotherapy (mechanisms, side effects, clinical implications)
• Treatment-related side effects: fatigue, cardiotoxicity, neuropathy, muscle loss, cachexia, bone health, etc
• Exercise physiology in cancer
• Evidence-based exercise interventions
• Exercise prescription across treatment phases
• Safety, contraindications, and red flags
