Abstract
We had taken a systematic review about rehabilitation of cancer patient focused on occupational therapy viewpoint as effect of their intervention. We took four databases in Japanese, from 2005 to 2016, when key words were cancer, rehabilitation, evaluation, and occupational therapy. And we got 723 articles totally, but there are 55 articles those are fitted our conditions. Then we analysed them. The number of articles on occupational therapy as cancer rehabilitation has been increased recently. Major part of methodology was case study. The most common diagnoses were breast cancer and brain tumour, that is the same trend as we have already pointed out; however, occupational therapy has been spread more variety of carcinoma, sarcoma and brain tumour.
