Abstract
Cancer patients suffer a clear decrease in their quality of life due to the numerous side effects and sequels produced by the treatments and the disease itself. Scientific evidence confirms that work with physical exercise, physiotherapy, nutrition and psychology provide numerous benefits for these patients. At the UAPO Foundation we address these areas in an interdisciplinary manner, uniting these treatments that are normally given in isolation. In this way it could be verified whether people who have or have had cancer obtain a higher quality of life with our work. Physical exercise is the main axis with a frequency of two 60-minute sessions per week accompanied by nutritional, psychological and physiotherapeutic assistance.
