Cancer rehabilitation and palliative care: critical components in the delivery of high-quality oncology services

Abstract: Palliative care and rehabilitation practitioners are important collaborative referral sources for each other who can work together to improve the lives of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers by improving both quality of care and quality of life. Cancer rehabilitation and palliative care involve the delivery of important but underutilized medical services to oncology patients by interdisciplinary teams. These subspecialties are similar in many respects, including their focus on improving cancer-related s… Show more

“…[21][22][23] Rehabilitation professionals are an optimal addition to the cancer care team and offer expertise in functional assessment, morbidity management, and disability prevention. 24 Accumulating clinical evidence suggests that rehabilitation interventions are effective before, during, and after cancer treatment to screen for, assess, and treat patients' functional needs. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Although mounting evidence suggests strong benefit from the integration of rehabilitation into the cancer continuum, 39,40 there is uncertainty around the critical components of a model for cancer rehabilitation.…”

In this issue of Supportive Care in Cancer, Julie K. Silver et al focus on cancer rehabilitation and palliative care delineating their respective roles in comprehensive oncology care [1]. The authors describe how cancer rehabilitation and palliative care are quite similar in goal setting, namely to improve physical, cognitive, psychological, and social aspects of quality of life in cancer patients-both specialties prioritizing goalconcordant care through identification of patient and family preferences and values.

“…The authors describe how cancer rehabilitation and palliative care are quite similar in goal setting, namely to improve physical, cognitive, psychological, and social aspects of quality of life in cancer patients-both specialties prioritizing goalconcordant care through identification of patient and family preferences and values. So both-cancer rehabilitation and palliative care-are able to improve cancer-related symptoms or cancer treatment-related side effects leading not only to (1) improve quality of life of cancer patients and cancer survivors but also to (2) improve healthcare efficiencies. As palliative care is, cancer rehabilitation is an interdisciplinary team process and an individually planned targeted process with the patient and family as active members within the team.…”
