VAMED study: Oncological rehabilitation improves quality of life

Medical progress is steadily increasing life expectancy for cancer patients. A study by VAMED of some 1,000 cancer patients in Austria shows that rehabilitation is improving their quality of life. Cases of depression fell by half after oncological rehabilitation, according to the study, carried out at VAMED’s rehabilitation center in St. Veit, Austria. Anxiety about a possible recurrence of cancer fell by a similar amount. Fresenius Vamed operates 15 rehabilitation centers in Europe.
