Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of microwave physiotherapy combined with phased rehabilitation exercise nursing intervention on the rehabilitation outcomes of postoperative patients with malignant tumors.Methods A randomized controlled study was conducted,including 124 postoperative patients with malignant tumors admitted from January 2023 to June 2025,who were divided into the observation group(62 cases,conventional care+microwave physiotherapy and phased rehabilitation exercise)and the control group(62 cases,conventional care).The first time getting out of bed after surgery,incision healing time,hospitalization period,incidence of complications,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results The first time getting out of bed[(24.00±5.00)h vs.(192.00±20.00)h,t=18.367,P<0.001],incision healing time[(10.26±2.50)d vs.(16.33±3.21)d,t=10.861,P<0.001],and hospitalization period[(15.38±2.61)d vs.(22.42±4.50)d,t=9.652,P<0.001]in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group.The total incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly reduced(3.23%vs.11.29%,χ2=3.075,P=0.036)compared with the control group,and the quality of life scores(physical function,emotional state,social function and symptom control)were significantly better than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Microwave physiotherapy combined with phased rehabilitation exercise can accelerate postoperative functional recovery,reduce the risk of complications,and improve the quality of life of cancer patients,which has clinical application value.
