In 2020, there will be an estimated 1.8 million new diagnoses of cancer. These individuals will then go through extensive and often traumatic treatment procedures in order to kill the cancer. Rehabilitation service providers are an integral part of the oncology team to work with the patient throughout treatment and into survivorship. This webinar is an introduction into oncology treatment and will provide the therapist some ideas on how to treat cancer survivors who have gone through different cancer treatments. This webinar is not intended to replace live classes but will give a foundation for the therapist that needs information immediately and allow them to begin to work with these patients now. A lecture will be provided, followed by a case report. The webinar will conclude with question and answer period where participants can ask questions regarding the lecture as well as any questions they may have regarding current patients they are treating
