Guideline concordant care is critical to enhance the integration of rehabilitation services into oncology care. This special symposium will present a synthesis of guideline recommendations that are relevant to informing the timing and type of rehabilitation services indicated in different cancers and the specific recommendations for interventions to improve function in individuals with cancer.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the recommendations for rehabilitative interventions among different types of cancers.
Identify the guideline recommendations for rehabilitative interventions among different symptoms and impairments related to cancer treatments.
Recognize the thresholds for rehabilitation referrals that are recommended in cancer treatment guidelines and the timing of recommended rehabilitation services.
Synthesize findings and begin to understand how these recommendations can be incorporated into clinical practice in all rehabilitation settings
Identify gaps in current guidelines and clinical pathways and understand how these gaps can be remedied through future research.
