Article Title: Rehabilitation needs of the elderly patient with cancer
Abstract: Physiatrist taking care of the geriatric patient with cancer should be able to manage an array of conditions that might present from diagnosis throughout completion of treatments and beyond. The elderly cancer population is at greater risk of functional impairments. The physician should anticipate changes in clinical status and must adjust rehabilitation goals accordingly. Treatment options and rehabilitation goals should be tailored to help maximize quality of life in these patients. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
