Just Released! Innovative Model of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation TurningPoint Women's Healthcare is proud to be part of an international initiative that introduces an innovative model of ongoing surveillance to identify physical side effects of breast cancer treatment. The goal is to reduce or prevent these issues and facilitate early treatment. The model was developed over the past year by a panel of internationally known experts, with the support of the American Cancer Society and input from national healthcare professional organizations and advocacy groups. The physical needs of women with breast cancer and scientific evidence to support rehabilitation and exercise during and after treatment were recently published in a special supplement to the journal Cancer. The project and proposed model of rehabilitation offers hope for improved function and full participation in life activities for patients through rehabilitation and exercise.
Did you know that during and after breast cancer treatment, clinical studies show that many women experience the following survivorship issues?
These survivorship needs often go unrecognized. TurningPoint's mission is to meet these needs and improve quality of life for women with breast cancer by providing, promoting and advocating specialized and evidence-based rehabilitation. TurningPoint Women's Healthcare is a non-profit 501c3 organization. |
