Relevance: Today, the restorative treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms remains a relevant issue. This section of oncology is the most laborious and requires an integrated approach. The concept of Quality of Life (QoL) increasingly appears in clinical trials, along with survival. The study aimed to review the literature on various aspects of medical rehabilitation of cancer patients. Results: The selected sources analysis suggests the necessity of an integrated approach to the restorative treatment of cancer patients because the changes in these patients’ life status are often pronounced. These changes might involve the patient’s physical condition and its various functional indicators; psycho-emotional state, with the relationship between predictive perception, QoL and the patient’s mood; and the social status, which is decisive for the patient’s reintegration into society. Such a multilateral approach will cover all aspects of patients’ life activity and address the main focus of cancer patients’ medical rehabilitation – their QoL improvement. Conclusion: Implementation of an integrated medical rehabilitation program for cancer patients will promote a maximum possible restoration of these patients’ life conditions and facilitate their physical and psycho-social adaptation after specialized treatment.
