Building the Future of Cancer Rehabilitation
Welcome to the Indian Society of Onco Rehabilitation (ISOR), a professional body dedicated to advancing integrated cancer rehabilitation across India. ISOR brings together physiotherapists, psycho-oncologists, dieticians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and other specialists committed to enhancing the quality of life of cancer survivors.
President's Message
Tremendous progress has been made in the understanding of cancer and, more importantly, in our ability to treat and control the disease over the past few decades. Advances in surgical techniques, imaging, radiotherapy, and molecular and cellular sciences have significantly improved survival outcomes. However, the journey of a person affected by cancer extends beyond treatment, as survivors often face physical, functional, psychological, and social challenges. This underscores the growing importance of integrating comprehensive rehabilitation into the continuum of cancer care to restore function, enhance quality of life, and support long-term survivorship.
It is the vision of the Indian Society of Onco-Rehabilitation (ISOR) to promote a unified, multidisciplinary approach to cancer rehabilitation by bringing together diverse healthcare professionals committed to holistic patient care. To achieve this ambitious goal and deliver meaningful educational value to onco-rehabilitation professionals across the country, ISOR seeks to establish a nationally unified and comprehensive framework that encompasses all sub-specialties under one collaborative platform. Through education, research, collaboration, and the development of evidence-based practices, the society strives to advance the field of onco-rehabilitation, strengthen its role within oncology care, and ensure that every cancer survivor has access to comprehensive rehabilitation and the opportunity to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Secretary's message
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Indian Society of Onco Rehabilitation (ISOR), a dedicated platform committed to advancing the field of cancer rehabilitation in India.
Cancer care today extends far beyond diagnosis and treatment. With increasing survival rates, the focus has rightfully shifted toward improving the quality of life of individuals affected by cancer. Onco rehabilitation plays a vital role in addressing the physical, functional, psychological, and social challenges faced by patients across the cancer continuum.
At ISOR, we strive to bring together healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines—physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, oncologists, nurses, psychologists, and other allied health experts—to collaborate, learn, and contribute toward comprehensive cancer care. Our mission is to promote evidence-based practice, education, research, and awareness in onco rehabilitation across the country
We are committed to fostering professional excellence through academic initiatives, workshops, conferences, and collaborative research. We also aim to advocate for the integration of rehabilitation services into standard oncology care, ensuring that every patient has access to holistic and multidisciplinary support.
As we continue to grow, we invite all professionals and stakeholders to join us in our journey to “Restore Life in Motion.” Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer survivors and their families.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment.
Dr. S. Vijay
