This course will identify the latest statistics on the growing cancer population, increasing survival rates, and the need for trained clinicians to meet the growing demand of the oncology population. Instruction on the cancer diagnosis, staging, grading, medical interventions, the acute and chronic side effects (bio-psycho-spiritual-social) of cancer, and its treatments will be covered. Next, the latest evidence-based and best practices for rehabilitation intervention will be provided, including our unique role in pre-habilitation thru palliative care. Topics of intervention include but are not limited to; Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CRCI), Falls, Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairments (CRCI), Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF), Pain, Lymphedema, Oncology-Related Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Musculoskeletal Dysfunction, Steroid-Induced Myopathy (SIM), Communication/Swallowing Dysfunction, and Distress Management. Instruction on identifying basic signs/symptoms of oncologic emergencies and precautions with advanced cancer and disease progression. In conclusion we will address rehabilitation’s vital role as a member of the multidisciplinary team and how to advocate for our profession and clients living with cancer and beyond.
