The University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation offer comprehensive rehabilitation services for people with a history of cancer to maintain and restore quality of life, function, and overall well-being.

Our Approach

Cancer Rehabilitation is a team-based approach to helping people get their lives back on track before, during, and after cancer treatment. Since everyone has a unique medical history, you will be given an individualized plan to help you recover from symptoms associated with cancer.

Typically, this begins at a clinic visit with a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) physician -- sometimes called a physiatrist -- but can also include many other team members. Your rehabilitation physician will also help you to get to any other providers that may be able to help.
