  6. Learning Objectives • General Overview of Cancer Statistics and Basics • Tests/Treatments/Side Effects/Lab Values • Special Patient Populations • Rehabilitation Considerations • How to Handle End of Life • Issues across Continuum of Care "Managing the Cancer Patient in the Acute Care Setting," 10/23/16."This information is the property of Kathryn E.

  7. Cancer Statistics1 • The National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 14.5 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive in 2014 and is expected to be almost 19 million by 2024. • About 1,685,210 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2016. This equates to 4,620 cases/day. • In 2016, about 595,690 Americans are expected to die of cancer, almost 1,630 people per day. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease, accounting for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths. • The 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 2003 and 2009 is 68%, up from 49% in 1975-1977 "Managing the Cancer Patient in the Acute Care Setting," 10/23/16."This information is the property of Kathryn E. Tasillo, PT, DPT, and should not be copied or otherwise used without express written permission of the author."

  8. “Lack of health insurance and other barriers prevent many Americans from receiving optimal health care. According to the US Census Bureau, approximately 48.6 million Americans (15.7%) were uninsured in 2011, including one in three Hispanics and one in 10 children (18 years of age and younger). Uninsured patients and those from ethnic minorities are substantially more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at a later stage, when treatment can be more extensive and more costly. The Affordable Care Act is expected to substantially reduce the number of people who are uninsured and improve the health care system for cancer patients.” (1) "Managing the Cancer Patient in the Acute Care Setting," 10/23/16."This information is the property of Kathryn E.
