Acute care is usually associated with disease progression, treatments for cancer,
and medical comorbidities. Patients with cancer may develop sudden functional
deficits that require rehabilitation. Some of these patients benefit from acute
rehabilitation, others benefit from subacute rehabilitation.
After acute
rehabilitation, continuous care for these patients has not been well described.
Three studies are presented to demonstrate that cancer rehabilitation is a
continuous process. Rehabilitation professionals should know how to detect fall
risk, monitor symptoms, and render symptom management. Patients with cancer often
require rehabilitation services during their entire disease trajectory.
