It seeks to identify barriers and propose strategies to enhance its integration into comprehensive cancer care.. Methods:  The World Café co-design methodology was employed to facilitate discussions among HSCP and CCMA. This approach, known for its dynamic, inclusive, and engaging nature, encouraged a wide range of perspectives and deeper insights through collaborative and adaptable conversations. The sessions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed qualitatively using inductive thematic analysis. Results:  Nineteen participants were involved, including 11 HSCP and 8 CCMA. The analysis revealed three primary themes: "Supportive Services," "Physiotherapy Along the cancer continuum," and "What Now?". Key findings highlight the lack of awareness about the role of physiotherapy in oncology, significant barriers to its integration, and the need for more humanized healthcare. Participants emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary work, the inclusion of physiotherapy in all phases of the oncological process, and the role of case managers in coordinating care. Conclusions:  These findings underscore significant gaps in the integration of physiotherapy into oncological care, including unmet needs due to lack of information, resources, and effective communication. Future efforts should focus on increasing the visibility of physiotherapy, integrating specialized physiotherapists into oncology teams, and enhancing the emotional education of professionals to provide more humanized care.Springer Verlag2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/228742Articles publicats en revistes (Infermeria de Salut Pública, Salut mental i Maternoinfantil)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésReproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-025-09785-zSupportive Care in Cancer, 2025, vol. 33https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-025-09785-zcc-by (c) San Miguel Pagola, Marta et al., 2025https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:dnet:ubarcelona__::004269a712407966e615095cdf1dc5f62026-05-27T06:46:51Z
