Lymphatic drainage |
Most patients demonstrated improvements in the intensity of the symptoms (pain and dyspnea) after manual lymphatic drainage. |

Physical exercise guided by physiotherapist |
Structuring of routine, reduction of feeling of fatigue, increased feeling of bodily control, increased hope. |

Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech, language and hearing therapy and rehabilitation nursing interventions |
Asthenic patients in inpatient regimen with solid tumors or hematological cancer can obtain rehabilitation benefits and reach significant functional gain. |

Additional strength and resistance training |
The training positively affected the functionality, resistance and strength, demonstrating that even patients in palliative chemotherapy should receive interventions that increase the physical activity. |

Varying rehabilitation interventions |
The studies demonstrated benefits of rehabilitation for the functional capacity, quality of life, mobility, fatigue, pain, wellbeing, dyspnea, emotional status and cognitive function. |

Aerobic or resistance training in group |
Aerobic and resistance training was feasible for patients with gastrointestinal cancer submitted to palliative chemotherapy. Both training programs produced improvements in cancer-related symptoms, as well as in physical activities of daily living. |

Physical exercise or physiotherapy |
Physical exercises and physiotherapy were feasible for more than 90% of terminal cancer patients. Physical exercises, relaxation therapy and respiratory training were the most easily applicable measures. Prospective clinical trials are needed to assess the efficacy of specific physical exercise and physiotherapy programs in terminal cancer patients. |

Rehabilitation exercises at home |
The intervention significantly reduced the unattended needed of cancer survivors, probably with a good cost-effectiveness relation. The program should be implemented in larger populations, followed by an assessment. |

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy |
Improvements in the perceived quality of life, balance, strength, mobility and sociability. |

Resistance or cardiovascular exercises |
Advanced cancer patients seem to benefit from exercising to improve their functional mobility. |

Neuromuscular electric stimulus |
Neuromuscular electric stimulus was an effective medium to reduce muscle weakness in adults with progressive conditions, such as COPD, chronic cardiac diseases and cancer. Further research is needed to clarify its place in clinical practice through the determination of the ideal parameters for a neuromuscular electric stimulation program. |

Physical exercises |
Positive and statistically significant correlation between physical exercise and quality of life. About 2/3 of the critically ill patients demonstrated interest in participating in physical exercise programs. |

|
Physical exercise group |
The fatigue intensity was not reduced, but the physical performance improved significantly after eight weeks of physical exercise. Therefore, physical exercise can be an appropriate approach to maintain the physical capacity in cancer patients with advanced stages of incurable diseases. |
