Abstract:
Care for pediatric cancer survivors must include scheduled, thorough evaluations of potential chronic and late effects resulting from multidimensional cancer treatments. Assessment of functional independence with activities and participation is critical in assuring that survivors can optimally access their environments and pursue educational, occupational, and leisure activities appropriate to their interests and capabilities. Owing to their expertise in both rehabilitation and habilitation, pediatric physiatrists are of great benefit in the care of survivors of pediatric cancer.
