Where this comes from

Abstract

Caru et al. emphasize the positive of physical activity during and after treatment for children with cancer, highlighting its significance for improving health outcomes. In Germany, exercise therapy has not yet been integrated into standard post-treatment care; however, efforts are underway to establish a nationwide framework that enhances these services. Given the complexity of the challenges faced by families, a family-centered approach to psychosocial support services is essential for effectively addressing their multifaceted needs.
