Biannual Cancer Rehabilitation Conference
As cancer survival rates are on the rise, survivors are advocating for improved quality of life both during treatment and after treatment ends. In addition, research is showing that therapy and physical medicine and rehabilitation interventions are beneficial and safe for patients with cancer. This course will aim to outline the gaps in care and raise awareness for the importance of cancer rehabilitation for all healthcare professionals including physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses and therapists.
Target Audience
Nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, case managers, physiatrists/physicians, fellows, and residents involved with the acute care and rehabilitation of cancer patients are encouraged to attend.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this learning activity attendees will be able to describe and apply:
1. the quality-of-life effect of financial toxicity
2. the role and impact pre-habilitation and exercise have in the cancer care continuum
3. the features and impact of CAR T neurotoxicity and treatment approaches
4. the impact of cancer-related fatigue and treatment approaches
5. the impact of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy on mobility and falls, and methods of treatment
6. the effects of CNS tumors on functional outcomes
