Cancer rehabilitation is changing the way we think about cancer care. Rather than waiting until treatment has ended or function has been lost, rehabilitation is becoming an essential part of comprehensive cancer care from the time of diagnosis.

In this episode of MedInsights Unleashed, Dr. Kelley C. Wood, PhD, MS, ACSM-CEP, CET, Director of Research, ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation, Select Medical, and Dr. Alina Hedaya, PT, DPT, OCS, Cert MDT, Program Director, ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation, Kessler Rehabilitation Center, discuss how early intervention, prehabilitation, and individualized rehabilitation help patients maintain strength, function, independence, and quality of life throughout the cancer journey.
