Abstract

The occupational therapist as a health professional will carry out his intervention in all those patients who present a specific symptomatology or characteristics that require it. In the case of the cancer patient, which we are talking about, their intervention will not be based on directly attacking the neoplasm to prevent its development or to eliminate it, but will stick to acting as a member of the interdisciplinary work team, in charge of controlling secondary symptoms. To the oncological process, provide the necessary social support, both to patients and their caregivers, as well as to carry out actions that improve the quality of life of the individual.
