Such an honor to have the opportunity to contribute to the cancer rehab supplement of AJPM&R with my mentors. #cancerrehab

1st grand rounds at CU Physical Medicine in the books.🤘🏽 With 18.1 million survivors in the US and nearly 2/3 of pts receiving RT during their cancer course, it’s important for all #physiatrist to be able to recognize RT related side effects. #CancerRehab for the win again!

One of the most comprehensive slides I’ve seen on the prep rehab assessment for lung cancer pts by ⁦Chanel Davidoff, DO⁩

In this retrospective study on 502 patients, mostly referred for mononeuropathy, plexopathy, and polyneuropathy, high resolution US was abnormal in 81.7%. It added additional useful information in 79.0% and was decisive in management in 62.7%. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Big fan. Huge.

How did they know??

Very excited to share our manuscript associating Executive function with Balance and Falls in chemo treated cancer survivors. Implications include not all fall risk is from CIPN and mobility interventions should consider targeting the brain.

#Cancerrehab

New study from Jones lab: In >11,000 people with cancer and up to 25 yrs followup, exercise reduced all-cause mortality by 25% and reduced risk of cancer-specific death for kidney and head and neck cancers.

NCCN Cancer Survivorship Guidelines added Pickleball to physical activity recommendations. A sign of the times…

Breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemo benefit significantly from 3-month dietary counseling & home exercises w/ pCR rate of 53% vs 28% in those without intervention in a newly published RCT. Impact strongest in HR+, HER-2 negative & triple negative cancers.

“Sure, being a PM&R doctor is easy…but being a good one is much harder.”
