A2 - Mitra, Raj Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine AB - The american cancer society estimates that there will be more than 15.5 million cancer survivors, 1.7 million new cancer patients, and 601,000 cancer deaths in the United States in 2017.1 The number of cancer survivors is expected to grow to more than 20 million by the year 20262 (Fig. 98–1). It has been demonstrated that 40% to 60% of these survivors report one or more long-term functional deficits, with even higher rates for those with metastatic disease. This represents a massive population of patients with functional and quality of life limiting impairments. Unfortunately, many survivors accept their limitations as the “new normal.” Education of the rehabilitation professional is essential if we are to meet the needs of this critically underserved population.3,4 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159837066 ER -
