MEDICAL REHABILITATION OF ONCOLOGICAL PATIENTS IN THE SPA RESORT
The review article is devoted to the medical rehabilitation of oncologic patients in a resort. Taking into account the official regulatory documents, we considered: the selection of oncologic patients, indications and contraindications, methods of sanatorium-and-spa treatment of this category of patients. It has been noted that contra-indications to sanatorium-and-spa treatment of oncologic patients are determined by specifics of sanatorium-resort factors, features of the oncological disease, the nature of complications of antitumor treatment and the severity of concomitant diseases. Currently the cure in oncology is understood not only as a clinical recovery, but also the return of the patient to the former way of life. Therefore, medical rehabilitation of oncologic patients in sanatorium-and-spa conditions determines the improvement of the quality of life of patients as the main criterion of its effectiveness.
