Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

1.3K
Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Restorative Care

2.5K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.9K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Cancer Therapies

10.6K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cancer rehabilitation is crucial for the growing number of cancer survivors, especially older adults with comorbidities. A new multidisciplinary model integrates rehabilitation from diagnosis through survivorship to improve function and quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • The US cancer survivor population is 14.5 million and growing, with two-thirds over 65.
  • Older survivors often have comorbidities and deconditioning, increasing risks from cancer treatment.
  • Adverse effects of cancer treatment exacerbate comorbidities and lead to functional decline.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an expanded prospective model for cancer rehabilitation.
  • To integrate rehabilitation assessment and referral into standard cancer care.
  • To optimize functioning, health, and quality of life for cancer survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team approach for surveillance, assessment, and referral.
  • Cancer rehabilitation initiated at diagnosis and continued post-treatment.
  • A stepped-care framework for guiding referrals based on survivor needs and safety.

Main Results:

  • The model facilitates early identification of symptoms and impairments.
  • It enables appropriate and timely referral to cancer rehabilitation specialists.
  • Potential to minimize both acute and long-term cancer morbidity.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating cancer rehabilitation into routine care is essential.
  • A proactive, multidisciplinary approach improves survivor outcomes.
  • This model addresses the complex needs of an aging cancer survivor population.
