The most common cause of death worldwide is cancer, and the sophisticated and aggressive medications used to treat it can have serious side effects and limitations. Immunotherapy known as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has become a viable treatment option for some cancers, notably hematologic malignancies. However, it is linked to a number of adverse effects that may have a detrimental influence on patients' quality of life and access to care. Because it focuses on recovering patients' functional abilities and enhancing their quality of life rehabilitation medicine is essential to the treatment of cancer. This literature review aims to explore the cooperation between them to achieve better cancer treatment outcomes. This literature review will analyze and evaluate the literature on side effects of CAR-T Cell Therapy, the role of rehabilitation medicine in cancer treatment, and the rationale behind combining these two approaches for improved cancer treatment.
