AB Cancer  and  its  treatments  are  a  major  cause  for  impairments  and  disability.  Because  cancer  treatments  have  become  increasingly  successful  and  have  improved  survival,  there  has  been  an  increasing  focus  on  quality  of  life  and,  in  particular,  rehabilitation.  Cancer  rehabilitation  is  practiced  in  outpatient  clinics,  oncology  wards,  inpatient  rehabilitation  units,  skilled  nursing  facilities,  nursing  homes,  long-term  acute  care  centers,  palliative  care  units,  and  hospices.  Common  diagnoses  addressed  include  asthenia,  deconditioning,  hemiplegia,  spinal  cord  injury,  peripheral  neuropathy,  somatic  and  neuropathic  pain,  steroid  myopathy,  lymphedema,  bowel/bladder  management,  limb  amputation,  and  limb  dysfunction.
