Abstract	Cancer management is increasingly shifting towards a chronic disease model, necessitating a synergy between rehabilitation (restoring function) and palliative care (managing symptoms). In unani medicine, these dual goals are intrinsically linked to Asbab-e- Sitte Zaruriya(Six Essential Factors). The present abstract explores how the six essential factors-Air, Food and Drink, Bodily Movement and Repose, Psychic Movement and Repose, Sleep and Wakefulness, and Evacuation and Retention which serves as a blueprint for improving the Quality of Life (QoL) in cancer patients. By aligning modern rehabilitative exercises and palliative symptom control with these clinical principles, one can address the physical, psychological, and humoral imbalances (su-e-Mizaj) caused by malignancy and its conventional treatment.
