It included stages of the functional and psychological rehabilitation, fertility preservation. At the Federal State Budget Institution «Medical Radiological Research Center» (Obninsk), the functional rehabilitation was carried out in 29 bone cancer patients including 11 (39%) children aged from 11-18 years and 18 (61%) adults aged from 18-69 years.
