Abstract

Purpose of review: Despite more than 6 decades of growth and transformation, the field of cancer rehabilitation has considerable room to evolve if it is to live up to its full potential. This article will discuss the importance of this evolution in the context of radiation late effects and serve as a call for the clinical and operational expansion of the field so that it can become a key component of comprehensive cancer care.

Recent findings: The clinical and operational challenges inherent in cancer survivors with radiation late effects necessitate different thinking with respect to how rehabilitation professionals evaluate and manage patients as well as how our institutions equip these professionals to practice at the highest possible level.

Summary: To achieve its promise, the field of cancer rehabilitation must evolve to embrace fully the scope, scale, and complexity of issues faced by cancer survivors with radiation late effects. Better engagement and coordination of the care team are needed to deliver this care and ensure our programs are robust, sustainable, and flexible.

接受复杂性——癌症康复在癌症放射性纤维化综合征幸存者恢复和维持功能和生活质量方面的作用。

综述目的：尽管癌症康复领域经历了60多年的发展和变革，但如果要充分发挥其潜力，它仍有相当大的发展空间。本文将在辐射后期效应的背景下讨论这一演变的重要性，并呼吁扩大该领域的临床和操作范围，使其成为癌症综合治疗的关键组成部分。最近的研究结果：癌症晚期辐射幸存者所固有的临床和操作挑战需要对康复专业人员如何评估和管理患者以及我们的机构如何使这些专业人员能够达到最高水平进行实践进行不同的思考。摘要：为了实现其承诺，癌症康复领域必须发展，以充分考虑癌症幸存者所面临的辐射晚期影响问题的范围、规模和复杂性。需要护理团队更好地参与和协调，以提供这种护理，并确保我们的计划稳健、可持续和灵活。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal serves those for whom an understanding of emerging knowledge in the rehabilitation sciences is essential to optimizing health, function, and participation in individuals with physical disabilities. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include amputee rehabilitation; interventional pain management; musculoskeletal rehabilitation; pediatric rehabilitation; spinal cord injury rehabilitation; stroke rehabilitation; swallowing disorders; and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
