April is Cancer Awareness Month. Then comes May.
A time to reflect on what happens after treatment, and what can be done to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors.
Please join us for an evening with three cancer physiatrists as they educate us on optimizing recovery from cancer and its treatment, with plenty of opportunity to get your questions answered.
Dr. Eugene Chang is a physiatrist who works at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Toronto Rehabilitation Institute . His main interest is management of cancer-related impairments, which includes musculoskeletal and neurological dysfunction, fatigue, lymphedema, pain, and medical education related to cancer survivorship and rehabilitation. He will provide us with an overview of models of care in cancer rehabilitation.
Dr. Emma Mauti’s clinical work is focused on maximizing quality of life for individuals living with and beyond cancer, through diagnosing and managing functional impairments that arise from cancer or its treatments. She has a particular interest in neuromuscular complications of cancer and the focus of her presentation will be breast cancer related impairments and management.
Dr. Melissa Weidman’s clinical interests include management of cancer and treatment related impairments, helping individuals to maximize their function through a combination of conservative, pharmacologic, and interventional strategies. She is a firm believer in exercise as medicine and preventative management strategies, and enjoys working in collaborative, interprofessional teams. The focus of her presentation will be exercise considerations and recommendations in cancer patients.
