Many of us have been touched by cancer, either in loved ones or as patients ourselves. All deserve the best possible care to help improve their survival. All deserve basic, thoughtful rehabilitation efforts to minimize the effects of the disease and its treatment. We have been fortunate to see and be part of an increased acceptance and growth in the field of cancer rehabilitation. We hope that the clinical information in these chapters will be used as a practical resource to help clinicians offer more rehabilitation care for their cancer patients. Special thanks to Ms. Marilyn Lyles, whose significant efforts allowed for the completion of this project and to Dr. Theresa Gillis, who created the Rehabilitation Medicine program at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
