Abstract

Comprehensive cancer rehabilitation programs are essential to enhance patient outcomes. Services vary by institution, and few oncology programs have comprehensive cancer rehabilitation programs. Current rehabilitation program recommendations focus on the needs of adults; the unique needs of children and adolescents with cancer also require attention. Pediatric oncology rehabilitation is an emerging area of practice, and more pediatric institutions are exploring how to develop consistent and streamlined services. To assist practitioners in program development and to raise awareness of the rehabilitation needs of this population throughout the continuum of care, we describe the development of a multidisciplinary pediatric cancer rehabilitation program.
