Medical Lab Result Interpretation, Physiotherapy Safety, And Medical Nurse Involvement in Oncology Units

Abstract

Oncology patients require highly coordinated, multidisciplinary care due to the complex and often fragile nature of cancer and its treatments. Medical lab result interpretation, physiotherapy safety, and medical nurse involvement form a critical triad in oncology units, directly influencing patient safety, functional recovery, and quality of life. Laboratory findings provide essential insights into hematological status, infection risk, metabolic balance, and treatment tolerance, all of which guide safe clinical decision-making. Physiotherapy plays an important role in maintaining mobility, reducing treatment-related complications, and improving physical function, but must be carefully adapted based on laboratory values and patient condition. Medical nurses serve as the central link between lab data interpretation and physiotherapy implementation, ensuring safe practice, continuous monitoring, and coordinated care. This article explores how these three components interact in oncology units to support safe, effective, and patient-centered cancer care.
