Oncological Rehabilitation

What Oncological Rehabilitation does

Oncoreha.ch (Oncological Rehabilitation) is a Swiss multiprofessional association (Verein) founded in 2010 and headquartered in Bern at the offices of Krebsliga Schweiz (Swiss Cancer League). Its stated objective is to establish oncological rehabilitation as a fixed component of cancer treatment in Switzerland, and to that end it unites healthcare professionals from oncology, radio-oncology, rehabilitation medicine, physiotherapy, nutritional science, sports science, psycho-oncology, and oncology nursing. Governance is via an elected board (Vorstand) with co-presidents Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Rudolf Zwahlen and Dr. med. Peter Lermen, vice-president Martina Schmocker, and a broader committee including representatives of SRO, SGPMR, SAPPM, SGAIM, and the SAKK patient council. The association's day-to-day operations are managed by Andrea May from the Geschäftsstelle at Effingerstrasse 2, Bern.

The association delivers value through four main product surfaces: (1) an annual professional symposium (next scheduled March 4, 2027 in Zürich) covering outcome measurement, digital data collection, research cooperation, and quality assurance; (2) a webinar series on topics such as Behandlungspfade (treatment pathways) and cancer-related fatigue; (3) a publications repository of Swiss and international oncological rehabilitation research; and (4) a trilingual (German, French, Italian) website platform serving Switzerland's language regions. Operational coordination is delivered through five working groups covering communication, continuing education, science and research, tariffs, and academy & public relations. The association has participated in the Swiss NutriAct Study (NCT04859400, 2021-2023) at Kantonsspital Winterthur and links to the Cancer Survivors Support Program (CSSP) with Gesundheitsförderung Schweiz.

The business model is subscription-based membership with four published tiers priced in Swiss Francs: individual membership at CHF 100/year, supporting membership at CHF 50/year, collective membership for professional societies/associations at CHF 500/year, and corporate/institutional membership for clinics at CHF 1,000/year. Eleven institutional clinic members are publicly listed, including Rehaklinik Hasliberg, Rehaklinik Gais, Rehaklinik Davos Clavadel, Rehaklinik Wald, Kantonsspital Winterthur, Berner Klinik Montana, La Lignière Clinique, Klinik Arlesheim, LUKS Gruppe, Clinica di Riabilitazione EOC, and Zurzach Care. Geographic scope is single-country (Switzerland), and the go-to-market motion is community-led: members join to access networking, educational resources, working groups, and representation in tariff and standards-setting discussions. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Onkologiepflege Schweiz (OPS): OPS is the Swiss oncology nursing association, explicitly represented on Oncoreha's board. It is a directly comparable Swiss specialty nursing society whose membership and educational mission overlap with Oncoreha's multiprofessional scope.
• Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Radio-Onkologie (SRO): SRO is the Swiss Society for Radio-Oncology, which is explicitly represented on Oncoreha's board by Co-President Prof. Dr. Zwahlen. It is a directly comparable specialty society with overlapping education and standards-setting missions in Swiss oncology.
• Krebsliga Schweiz (Swiss Cancer League): Krebsliga Schweiz is Switzerland's leading cancer non-profit, focusing on prevention, support, and research across the patient journey. It is Oncoreha's primary strategic partner and host, and shares overlapping goals in improving cancer patient outcomes and survivorship in Switzerland.
• Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Physikalische Medizin und Rehabilitation (SGPMR): SGPMR is the Swiss Society for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, also represented on Oncoreha's board. It is a directly comparable professional association whose scope overlaps with Oncoreha's rehabilitation focus, though broader across all rehabilitation (not just oncology).
• Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Medizinische Onkologie (SGMO): SGMO is the Swiss Society for Medical Oncology, representing medical oncologists in Switzerland. It is directly comparable to Oncoreha as a Swiss oncology-focused professional society, though narrower in scope (physicians only vs. multiprofessional).

Broad incumbents

• European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO): ESMO is the leading European professional organization for medical oncology, with working groups and educational activities analogous to Oncoreha's but at continental scale. It represents a broader-incumbent peer operating in overlapping oncology standards and education space.
• European Cancer Organisation (ECO): ECO is a major European multi-stakeholder cancer organization convening oncology professionals and patient groups. It is comparable to Oncoreha as a multiprofessional oncology association, but operates at a pan-European scale with broader policy influence.

Regional players

• DGHO (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hämatologie und Medizinische Onkologie): DGHO is the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology, the largest professional oncology association in German-speaking Europe. It is comparable to Oncoreha in mission and structure but operates at much larger scale in Germany.
• Schweizerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Klinische Krebsforschung (SAKK): SAKK is the Swiss Working Group for Clinical Cancer Research, also represented on Oncoreha's board via a patient council member. It is a comparable Swiss oncology organization with a research-focused rather than rehabilitation-focused mission.

Emerging players

• Rehabilitation Oncology (APTA): APTA's Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy is the leading U.S.-based specialty section focused on oncological rehabilitation. It is comparable to Oncoreha in its specialized rehabilitation-of-cancer-patients focus, though it functions as a sub-specialty of the broader APTA rather than as an independent association.
