A02-Take care: Oncology Care and Advances in Sports Medicine
Oncology / IBS-A02 / Consolidated

The research group is multi-disciplinary and its main objective is to describe the evidence on the efficacy of physiotherapy and nursing in the management of chronic pain and other alterations derived from cancer treatment. They have a small laboratory, which is a reference for some international groups, in relation to the immune and hormonal response to chronic pain.
