Core Tip Cancer rehabilitation remains an essential yet under-recognized component of oncology care in India. With a rising number of cancer survivors, there is a growing need to address the complex physical, psychological, and social challenges they face after treatment. This mini-review identifies critical gaps in infrastructure, access, and specialized workforce, while outlining the potential of multidisciplinary rehabilitation services. It underscores the importance of policy integration, awareness, and capacity building to establish cancer rehabilitation as a standardized element of survivorship care nationwide.
