Pilot Study of Individualized Comprehensive Rehabilitation in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

This study is a pilot interventional study evaluating an individualized, comprehensive rehabilitation approach for patients with colorectal cancer in Slovenia. Patients treated for colorectal cancer often experience long-term physical, psychological, and social consequences of the disease and its treatment. Currently, rehabilitation services are not provided in a coordinated or systematic way. The aim of this study is to identify patients' rehabilitation needs and to assess the feasibility and potential benefits of a coordinated multidisciplinary rehabilitation pathway. Participants are guided through an individualized rehabilitation pathway and referred to appropriate healthcare professionals (e.g., physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, physicians, and other specialists) according to their needs. No experimental medications or devices are used. Results will support the development of structured comprehensive rehabilitation programs for colorectal cancer patients at the national level.
