Abstract
An increasing number of people are surviving cancer in Switzerland : 163,450 people were still alive in 2006 after a cancer diagnosis less than ten years prior, compared to 210,350 in 2016. However, most have to cope with debilitating emotional and physical aftereffects. A new 12-week rehabilitation program aims to restore patients' abilities. It consists of group-led therapies: adapted physical activity, psycho-oncology, dietetics, management of cognitive disorders, and integrative medicine. The first 116 patients who benefited from the program reported a general reduction in symptoms at the end of the program, an improvement that lasts even after 9 months, although fatigue and mood become concerning again. Some express a desire for post-rehabilitation follow-up.
