Oncology Rehabilitation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Quality Cancer Care

Abstract

Oncology rehabilitation is an expanding field of medical care focused on preparing the cancer patient for upcoming cancer treatment (prehabilitation); maintaining patient strength, functioning and quality of life during cancer treatment; and helping patients either recover strength, functioning, and quality of life following cancer treatment or adjust to the long-term sequelae associated with their cancer or cancer-related treatments. This chapter addresses how rehabilitation interventions (1) fit into the continuum of cancer care; (2) can be used to address cancer and cancer treatment-related side effects such as pain, fatigue, lymphedema, cognitive dysfunction, and bone issues; and (3) can be used in cases of specific cancer diagnoses including, but not limited to breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, head and neck, and hematologic cancers.
