Adults with cancer are at risk of restricted functioning in work, usual activities, life roles, and quality of life both during and after cancer treatment. Herein, the authors discuss unique opportunities to examine how cancer rehabilitation, delivered as part of cancer and survivorship care, might help to achieve the quadruple aim of better patient health, better patient experience, and lower cost for patients who receive services, as well as improving the work life of clinicians and staff.
