Background: Rehabilitation therapy is important to treat physical and functional impairments that may occur in individuals receiving physically taxing, yet potentially curative hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). However, there is scarce data on how rehabilitation is delivered during HSCT in real-life setting. Our objective is to assess the rehabilitation practices for adult patients hospitalized for HSCT in the United States.
Methods: A 48-question online survey with cancer centers with the top 10% HSCT volumes (per American registries). We obtained data on patient characteristics, rehabilitation therapy details (timing, indication, administering providers), physical function objective and subjective outcome measures, and therapy activity precautions.
Results: Fourteen (out of 21) institutions were included. Rehabilitation therapy referrals occurred at admission for all patients at 35.7% of the centers for: functional decline (92.9%), fall risk (71.4%), and discharge planning (71.4%). Participating institutions had physical therapists (92.9%), occupational therapists (85.7%), speech language pathologists (64.3%) and therapy aides (35.7%) in their rehabilitation team. Approximately 71% of centers used objective functional measures including sit-to-stand tests (50.0%), balance measures (42.9%), and six-minute walk/gait speed (both 35.7%). Monitoring of blood counts to determine therapy modalities frequently occurred and therapies held for low platelet or hemoglobin values; but absolute neutrophil values were not a barrier to participate in resistance or aerobic therapies (42.9%).
Discussion: Rehabilitation practices during HSCT varied among the largest volume cancer centers in the United States, but most centers provided skilled therapy, utilized objective, clinician and patient reported outcomes, and monitored blood counts for safety of therapy administration.

Background: There is great potential but seemingly limited use of indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography to influence conservative lymphedema therapy clinical practice. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence for ICG lymphography relating to conservative lymphedema therapy. Methods: A 6-staged scoping review framework of Arksey and O'Malley was used to guide the study. Protocol development included key stakeholder consultation. Searches were conducted in 5 databases with specialist librarian support. A 2-phase selection process undertaken by 2 researchers identified studies for inclusion. Conflicts were resolved by consensus. A subsequent 3-phase data extraction and quality appraisal process occurred. Key findings were presented in a descriptive numerical summary. Results: A total of 6316 records were identified, yielding 162 articles for inclusion. Categorization was made according to article type and purpose of ICG lymphography including lymphedema assessment (diagnosis and staging) and/or conservative therapy. Seventy-six empirical research articles with detailed reference to ICG lymphography were explored further. Conclusion: Current published research about ICG lymphography in conservative lymphedema therapy describes support for its use in lymphedema diagnosis, and proposes staging systems for lymphedema severity. Despite existing work, further exploration of effect on conservative therapy planning, clinical, and patient outcomes is necessary to consider future translation to clinical practice.

Background: Caring for an individual with cancer can be physically and emotionally draining and finding an effective intervention that supports caregivers is needed. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the psychological and biological effects of mind-body therapies for informal caregivers of individuals with cancer. Methods: A literature search was completed using 6 databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PEDro, and OTSeekers) and 4 gray literature databases (MedNar, NY Academy of Medicine Grey Literature Report, WorldCat Dissertations and Theses, and Proquest Psychology). Studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials published after 2010; participants were informal caregivers of individuals with cancer; and the main intervention was yoga, meditation, progressive relaxation therapy and guided imagery, mindfulness therapy, tai chi, breathing exercises, qigong, or visual imagery. The researchers completed title, abstract, and full-text screens using the selection criteria. Data were synthesized descriptively according to the different types of interventions. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to critically appraise the final articles. Results: There were a total of 11 articles included in this systematic review. There is evidence that certain mind-body therapies can have a positive effect on well-being, anxiety, and fatigue but not mindfulness or stress. One study found significant improvements in biological markers. Conclusion: Medical professionals should consider recommending mind-body therapies, especially to informal caregivers who present with anxiety, fatigue, and impairments in well-being. The major limitation in this review is based mostly on fair quality evidence.
背景:照顾一个患有癌症的人可能会在身体和情感上消耗精力，需要找到一种有效的干预措施来支持照顾者。本系统综述的目的是调查身心疗法对癌症患者非正式照护者的心理和生物学影响。方法:采用PubMed、CINAHL、Cochrane、PsycINFO、PEDro、OTSeekers 6个数据库和MedNar、NY Academy of Medicine灰色文献报告、WorldCat Dissertations and Theses、Proquest Psychology 4个灰色文献数据库进行文献检索。纳入2010年以后发表的随机对照试验;参与者是癌症患者的非正式照顾者;主要的干预是瑜伽、冥想、渐进式放松疗法和引导意象、正念疗法、太极、呼吸练习、气功或视觉意象。研究人员使用选择标准完成标题、摘要和全文筛选。根据不同干预类型对数据进行描述性综合。使用物理治疗证据数据库(PEDro)量表对最终文章进行批判性评价。结果:本系统综述共纳入11篇文献。有证据表明，某些身心疗法可以对健康、焦虑和疲劳产生积极影响，但对正念或压力却没有作用。一项研究发现，生物标志物有了显著改善。结论:医疗专业人员应考虑推荐身心疗法，特别是对那些表现出焦虑、疲劳和健康受损的非正式护理人员。本综述的主要局限性主要是基于公平质量的证据。

Objective: The standard of care treatment of potentially resectable lung cancer (LC) is surgery. However, postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and impairments in physical capacity are common. Recently, the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in postoperative patients with LC (PWLC) was investigated in these outcomes in different studies. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the effect of postoperative IMT (P-IMT) on PPCs and physical capacity in PWLC. Database: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and CINAHL were searched. Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials, including control/sham group, IMT as the intervention group, and key measures including PPCs, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), V o 2peak , maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), quality of life (QoL), physical activity level, hospital length of stay, spirometry. Data Synthesis: The quality of the studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. The outcome findings were compared and interpreted. Results: Five studies with 249 patients were analyzed. The PEDro scores of studies ranged from 6 to 8. There is no significant difference in PPCs between the groups. The effects of P-IMT on the 6MWT, V o 2Peak , MIP, MEP, and QoL were ambiguous. No effect of P-IMT on spirometry was reported. Conclusion: No effect of P-IMT in PPCs was reported. The effect of P-IMT on physical capacity and respiratory muscle strength was not observed. The level of the effect of P-IMT on hospital length of stay and postoperative physical activity was low. No optimal setting of P-IMT for PWLC with surgery was found. More studies are needed.

As you will read from our esteemed editor's message, the Rehabilitation Oncology journal is evolving with an increased emphasis on even more high-quality scientific research. As the incoming president of the Academy, it is my honor to author the last President's Perspective in this journal and it will be my honor to also author one of the first President's Perspectives in our forthcoming new publication that has yet to receive its final name when it is unveiled in 2024. Rest assured, you will receive much more information on this new publication as it is prepared for its debut. This evolution of our journal is an excellent analogue for our area of practice, oncology physical therapy. We are so fortunate to have the privilege to “stand on the shoulders of giants”—those clinicians, researchers, and leaders who have built this area of practice from the ground up—that have set us up for success. During your reading of this issue, please take a few minutes to reflect on those national leaders who helped develop the Oncology Section of the APTA and set the visionary wheels in motion to allow us to become a scientific Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy with a distinct area of specialization and an ever-growing body of literature. In addition, please also reflect upon (and perhaps even find time to personally thank) your own personal mentors. None of us would be where we are now without those professionals who took us under their wing and showed us that we could be more than we were. Just as you reflect on your mentors, I think about my personal mentors Reyna Colombo, Kris Thompson, Deb Doherty, and Janet Seidell. Their generous words and acts supporting us as we evolved into our future professional selves can never be fully repaid. Our job is to now pay it forward. As incoming president, I have the opportunity to thank and recognize Laura Sheridan, our president who will end her term of office at CSM 2024 in Boston. Although Dr. Sheridan has guided the Academy on many important initiatives and programs, it is extra notable that she was accomplishing these achievements during a global pandemic that shook health care to its foundations! No small feat, but she navigated us through these stormy waters with poise and confidence. One of the most notable achievements of Dr. Sheridan's term of service is that concrete steps were taken to grow our Academy's impact and influence beyond just our own physical therapy organization. During her tenure, we solidified or gained official representation on several national organizations including the Commission on Cancer, National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, American College of Sports Medicine, World Physiotherapy, and Lymphology Association of North America, to name a few. Our representation as physical therapists within these organizations is essential to not only advancing the science of oncologic physical therapy but also positively influencing the policy that will directly impact our practice and the

This final Rehabilitation Oncology issue of 2023 is not only the last this year but also the final issue in which we include any Academy Business such as the President's Perspective, slate of candidates, newly certified Oncologic Physical Therapy Specialists, as well as our regular columns, Research Round-Up and Clinical Conversation. Supporting our efforts to increase the quality of our scientific journal, we are sharpening our focus on the science behind oncologic physical therapy practice. First, a bit of history. Our first issue dates back to 1982 as the Oncology SIG Newsletter, which published news about the petition to the APTA for the founding of the Oncology Section. Early publications focused on a mix of Section news and clinical pearls, as well as reports from the Combined Sections Meeting and the National Conference. While many practicing today may find this difficult to believe, it was only through mailed newsletters that any information about the Section and our profession was communicated. The first scientific report, a case report, titled “The Physical Therapy Management of the Patient With Hodgkin's Disease: A Case Report,”1 was published in 1985. Steve Gudas became “Publications Editor” in June 1990 and formed an editorial board in 1995, at which time the name Rehabilitation Oncology was formally adopted. Under Dr Gudas' guidance, the journal moved from newsletter with editor-reviewed clinical information to a journal with peer-reviewed research. Steve Gudas is recognized as the Founding Editor of Rehabilitation Oncology as a peer-reviewed publication. Following his long tenure as editor, Lucinda “Cindy” Pfalzer took the reins of the editorship in 2013, grew the editorial board, updated editorial policies to align with best publishing practices for biomedical journals, and moved the journal to our current publishing house, Wolters Kluwer. The work by these past editors created a firm foundation for our Academy journal to become a flagship journal of exceptional research focused on oncology rehabilitation. Moving forward, for us to be recognized externally as a high-quality journal, the editorial team and I need to continue to build the journal structure for our work to have high impact. One way to have this external recognition is to be indexed in MEDLINE through the National Library of Medicine. MEDLINE indexing requires that we consistently follow best practices for biomedical journals, subscribe to and implement ethical publication standards, and publish more high-quality research. The first steps in this process, following best practices for biomedical journals including ethical publishing processes, are addressed through the policies and procedures contained in our Instructions for Authors (IFA), as well as by building a solid editorial team. We recently updated our IFA with a focus on proper study reporting, conflict of interest disclosure, identification of authorship responsibilities, and artificial intelligence use—all t

Background: Older individuals surviving breast cancer often encounter cancer-related disability as a short-term or long-term effect of cancer and related treatment. Cancer rehabilitation interventions have the potential to prevent, mitigate, or remediate cancer-related disability. However, use of these services remains limited. Understanding the priorities and perspectives of older individuals surviving breast cancer is key to developing effective and implementable cancer rehabilitation interventions. This qualitative descriptive study examined individuals' preferred and valued methods of cancer rehabilitation intervention delivery.
Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, older individuals surviving breast cancer (n=14) completed a single telephone-based semi-structure interview. Interviews explored survivors' preferences for cancer rehabilitation service delivery. Interview transcriptions were thematically analyzed. Open codes were inductively generated and reviewed for agreement by an independent reviewer. The codes were deductively organized. Differences were resolved through consensus meetings.
Results: Findings revealed preferred intervention delivery characteristics for intervention setting, mode of delivery, format, and timing. Participants predominantly preferred interventions delivered in community-based settings, with both in-person and remote components. Participants also appeared to value one-on-one interventions and those delivered post-treatment. Survivors' overarching preferences were based on desire for patient-centric care, one-on-one therapist time, complex medical schedules, and financial concerns.
Discussion: Study findings provide guidance on the modification of existing and creation of new cancer rehabilitation interventions addressing cancer-related disability in older individuals surviving breast cancer. Adoption of stakeholder-driven intervention delivery characteristics may improve value and acceptability of interventions. Future intervention research should incorporate and test these characteristics to ensure their effectiveness in real-world settings.
