The best evidence for any cancer therapy “adjunct” is not a special diet or supplement, it’s exercise. The evidence is strong and statistically significant that patients with all stages of cancer do better and live longer with exercise. #bcsm #MedTwitter

Last oncology, lymphedema and end of life rehab “advanced review” class taught at two universities 😅 Hopefully these DPT students are prepared for swelling/lymphedema and onco questions on the state licensure exam🍀

This is fantastic. Automatic rehab referrals will be the future of rehab oncology; prospective surveillance and treatment throughout the spectrum is needed. Push toward standardized practice and coordination between all aspects of patient handoff (IP, OP, HH, etc).

Great thread and it’s important to not speculate on cancer type or question her chemo decision-making. No one on the outside knows the diagnosis or her oncology team’s recommendations. I hope she has an oncologic PT, dietician and psychologist on her team.

From our Editor: 📣Evidence is clear: exercise plays an important role in managing the effects of cancer & cancer treatment 📣Just as clear: rehabilitation practices are not maximized TL;DR: There is more work to be done! ow.ly/RNFE50RlyfY APTA Oncology #CancerRehab

Here's a video I made breaking down this case of a young woman with a history of schizophrenia who presented to the ER with abdominal pain #FOAMed

Allowing patients to effectively report symptoms from treatments resulted in better outcomes. Seems obvious, but communication and quicker provider responses should be the goal of a nimble healthcare system (which we all realize we don’t currently have).

Just your regular reminder that almost 40% of 12-21 year old females in the US are iron deficient yet most aren’t aware because we don’t have universal screening. And it’s likely even higher in adults. tinyurl.com/FeJAMA

One of the many reasons we started and support our local Livestrong Y program in conjunction with individualized oncology physical therapy 💪

This is why dermatologist appointment screenings are critical-it’s often not easy to identify a problem, especially on the head, neck, back or back of arms and legs.
