“…A recent systematic review suggests using the Brief Fatigue Inventory when planning to administer a unidimensional tool or the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form when wanting to implement a multidimensional tool. 63 Table 10 outlines the unidimensional and multidimensional assessment tools evaluated by the EDGE task force to assess fatigue.…”

“…In order to accurately screen for and manage functional impairments related to treatment toxicities, a battery of functional measurement tools must be identified. Robust evidence supports specific measures of functional impairment in the cancer population [72][73][74][75][76] ; however, these individual measures fall short of comprehensively assessing function. Function is defined as "those activities identified by the individual as essential to support physical, social, and psychological wellbeing."…”

The health care delivery system in the United States is challenged to meet the needs of a growing population of cancer survivors. A pressing need is to optimize overall function and reduce disability in these individuals. Functional impairments and disability affect most patients during and after disease treatment. Rehabilitation health care providers can diagnose and treat patients' physical, psychological, and cognitive impairments in an effort to maintain or restore function, reduce symptom burden, maximize independence and improve quality of life in this medically complex population. However, few care delivery models integrate comprehensive cancer rehabilitation services into the oncology care continuum. The Rehabilitation Medicine Department of the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health with support from the National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research convened a subject matter expert group to review current literature and practice patterns, identify opportunities and gaps regarding cancer rehabilitation and its support of oncology care, and make recommendations for future efforts that promote quality cancer rehabilitation care. The recommendations suggest stronger efforts toward integrating cancer rehabilitation care models into oncology care from the point of diagnosis, incorporating evidence-based rehabilitation clinical assessment tools, and including rehabilitation professionals in shared decision-making in order to provide comprehensive cancer care and maximize the functional capabilities of cancer
