| Outcome 1: analysis of the oncological pain evaluated through the numerical scale of 11 points, in all sessions, before, during and after the physiotherapeutic treatment (the higher the score, the greater the pain); and the pressure pain threshold with a digital algometer the higher the value, the higher the patient's pain threshold), in the first, tenth and twentieth sessions.;Outcome 2: Evaluate oncologic fatigue using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Fatigue (FACT-F) questionnaire, where the final score ranges from zero to 160, indicating that the higher the score, the less fatigue. The questionnaire will be applied in the first, tenth and twentieth sessions. And the Numerical Fatigue Scale of 0 to 10 points will also be performed every day, before, during and after the physical therapy treatment.
