The Who, What, Why, When, Where, and How of Team-Based Interdisciplinary Cancer Rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE: To review the key components necessary for successful application of rehabilitation principles to oncology survivors.

DATA SOURCES: Validated databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus.

CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation is an essential component of cancer care that addresses functional needs for oncology survivors and is best accomplished via an interdisciplinary team. Interdisciplinary care, provided by nursing, physiatry, rehabilitation therapy, and exercise physiology, are critical components for comprehensive intervention. Challenges exist in implementing services, but opportunity also exists within the post-acute care sector.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses play an important role in the screening, assessment, and treatment of cancer-related functional impairments.
