AB Rehabilitation  examination  and  intervention  at  the  initiation  of  cancer  treatment  planning  are  becoming  standards  of  cancer  care.  Specific  education  and  attention  by  the  rehabilitation  therapist  throughout  the  continuum  of  cancer  prevention,  treatment,  survivorship,  and  palliative  care  are  essential  to  effectively  address  the  multitude  of  complex  rehabilitative  needs.  An  understanding  of  cancer  epidemiology  and  co-morbid  conditions  leads  to  better  comprehension  of  the  prognosis  for  long-term  survival,  thus  providing  a  framework  to  develop  local  and  regional  oncology-specific  exercise  promotion  programs  including  the  areas  of  cancer  prevention,  rehabilitation,  palliative  care,  and  hospice.
