Study Notes

Cancer Rehabilitation and PT Evaluation Checklist

Incidence of certain cancers, such as prostate, colon, ovarian, and chronic leukemias, doubles after the age of 25
Cancer survivorship rate is close to 70%, leading to more people living with adverse effects of cancer treatment
Physical therapists need to screen and identify conditions outside their scope of practice, such as pain not proportional to reported diagnosis or injury
Differential diagnosis includes primary cancer, recurrence, and metastasis
Evaluation checklist includes gathering subjective statements from patients, their social, working, and living environment, and personal and surgical history, especially related to cancer
Chemotherapy side effects and PT implications include cardiotoxicity, immunosuppression, myelosuppression, cognitive changes, cancer-related fatigue, and chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy
Radiation side effects include erythema, obstruction of lymphatics, mouth sores, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and late side effects like osteoporosis and fractures
Radiation recall grades range from mild erythema to life-threatening skin necrosis
Metastasis occurs when malignant tumors spread to areas away from the original site, infiltrating new organs or sites
Common sites for metastasis include lymph nodes, lungs, bone, liver, and brain
Clinical manifestations of malignancy can affect the integumentary, pulmonary, neurologic, and musculoskeletal systems
A case study illustrates red flags for cancer recurrence, such as a recent history of cancer, skin rash, and constitutional symptoms like fever
