Integrating cancer rehabilitation and lifestyle medicine: a proposed partnership and case example from the RISE cancer survivorship clinic
Cancer rehabilitation clinicians are uniquely situated to collaborate with lifestyle medicine clinicians in the assessment of lifestyle-related issues and interventions designed to mitigate these issues. The RISE cancer survivorship clinic provides a practical, real-life example of this collaboration in action. Cancer care throughout the continuum may benefit from an increase in synergistic activities between these two professional domains.
