摘　　要：It explores the integration of rehabilitation and palliative care in cancer management,advocating for a holistic approach that addresses the diverse needs of patients throughout their treatment journey.Traditional cancer care often prioritizes curative interventions at the expense of overall well-being,leading to a fragmented experience for patients.By combining rehabilitation-focused on restoring function and improving physical health-with palliative care-emphasizing symptom management and quality of life-healthcare providers can create a comprehensive support system.The essay highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals,as well as the need for education and training to implement this integrated model effectively.Additionally,it addresses potential barriers such as funding limitations and institutional resistance.Ultimately,the integration of these two disciplines represents a critical evolution in cancer care,enhancing patient outcomes and ensuring that individuals receive compassionate,patient-centered support throughout their journey.
