Oncological physiotherapy is a specialty that aims to preserve, maintain, develop and restore kinetic-functional systems, as well as prevent, improve and treat the sequelae of the oncological process. Its field of action deals with individual and / or collective treatments by specialized physiotherapists.
The aim of this subject is to achieve the necessary skills that a physiotherapist must have in order to be able to tackle one of the most common and most impactful diseases in the healthcare system. Increasingly, the cancer patient is receiving transdisciplinary treatment that falls not only to the doctor and nurse, but also to the psychologist, social worker, associations, and so on. and in the physiotherapist. Therefore, physiotherapy is playing a leading role in this multidisciplinary treatment, and not only in post-surgical treatment but in pre-rehabilitation, before surgery, increasingly present in different hospitals in the health system where they are training and seeking professionals. qualified to perform these tasks. During adjuvant treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, etc. The physiotherapist also accompanies the patient to improve possible fibrosis, contractures, fatigue, mobility, dyspnea, neuropathy, pain, functional capacity, etc ... In addition, once the patients have finished the treatments, the physiotherapist continues to promote healthy habits and the prescription of physical exercise as aspects with more scientific evidence both in survival and with the improvement of the quality of life. For this reason, physiotherapists must be trained to have an understanding of the different natural histories of the most prevalent cancers in our population, the basic principles that must include a pre-rehabilitation program and the development of decongestant therapy. edema used in one of the main chronic adverse effects such as lymphedema. Therefore, the physiotherapist provides assistance from the moment of diagnosis, avoiding comorbidities of the same treatment, throughout the process minimizing the possible possible sequelae and throughout his life already being survivors, improving the quality of life. as the main goal.

To pass the course it is necessary to obtain a grade of 5/10 in the final average of the assessment. The final grade will be the weighted average of all the activities carried out.
The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason
According to current regulations, only those students who have obtained a failing grade during the assessment of the regular period will be able to take the resit exam. If the rating is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.
Participation in classroom activities and discussions will be assessed as long as class attendance is at least 80%. If this minimum is not reached, the grade of the subject will be "Not presented" and will not be entitled to recovery.
Therefore, this situation of non-presentation will be considered when the student has not taken the theoretical test and / or the practical oral presentation.
