Abstract
Every year, canceris diagnosed in an increasing number of patients. Any diagnosis that confirms cancer causes enormous stress and trauma to the patient. Poor mental state may result in a lack of willingness to cooperate with a physiotherapist, and, as a result, hinder the overall treatment process. Physiotherapists should pay special attention to the principles of ethics in the profession and the possibilities of psychological support of patients during therapy. Reducing stress in patients and gaining their trust might help them recover faster.

Key words:
physiotherapy, oncology, ethics, psychological support
