Even people with the same type of cancer can have important differences in their cancer cells. That’s one reason biomarker testing can be an important part of cancer care.

Biomarker testing looks for specific genes, proteins or other molecules in cancer cells that can provide information about an individual’s cancer. These results can help healthcare providers better understand the characteristics of the cancer and determine whether certain treatments may be appropriate.

Biomarker testing is an important part of precision medicine, an approach that uses information about a person’s cancer to help guide treatment decisions. Depending on the cancer and the biomarkers identified, testing may help determine whether a patient could benefit from a targeted therapy or certain immunotherapies. It can also provide information that may help doctors understand how a cancer is responding to treatment or whether additional testing may be appropriate if the cancer returns.

The science continues to evolve as researchers identify new biomarkers and develop better ways to detect and use them. Testing may involve a sample of tumor tissue, blood, bone marrow or another body fluid, depending on the type of cancer and the test being performed.

Not everyone needs biomarker testing, and the tests recommended depend on the type and stage of cancer, the treatment being considered, and each patient’s individual circumstances. A healthcare provider can help determine whether biomarker testing may be appropriate.

Case managers play an important role in medical rehabilitation, helping coordinate a patient’s care from admission through discharge and beyond.

Working closely with patients, families, doctors, therapists, nurses, and community agencies, case managers coordinate discharge plans and services to ensure patients have an appropriate plan of care when they leave the hospital. They also facilitate communication, address questions and concerns, and help arrange follow-up services based on each patient’s needs.

Because rehabilitation often involves multiple healthcare professionals and services, case managers help ensure continuity of care and support patients as they continue their recovery at home.

What does “intensive” rehabilitation mean, and why does it matter?

When recovering from a disabling injury or illness, the amount and level of rehabilitation can make an important difference in outcomes. Unlike many other rehabilitation settings, inpatient rehabilitation is designed for patients who need a higher level of therapy and medical oversight. Patients generally receive at least 15 hours of therapy a week. That intensity gives patients more opportunities to practice and reinforce the skills they need to regain function and become more independent.

Patients receive treatment from a physician-led interdisciplinary healthcare team that consists of healthcare professionals who are specially trained in rehabilitation. Because therapy and medical care are coordinated throughout the stay, the team can continually evaluate progress and adjust treatments to help each patient work toward meaningful, measurable goals.

For patients who are able to participate and benefit from intensive rehabilitation, a medical rehabilitation hospital provides a comprehensive approach designed to help them make the most of their recovery.

As we age, maintaining strength, balance, and mobility can become more challenging. Physical therapy can help older adults stay active, independent, and confident in their daily lives.

For someone recovering from an injury, illness, or surgery, therapy can support a safe return to everyday activities. It can also help address chronic pain and changes in strength, balance, or mobility that may make daily tasks more difficult. Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs and goals, helping them to move comfortably and confidently.

Whether it’s keeping up with grandchildren, feeling steadier on their feet, or simply continuing to do the things they enjoy, physical therapy can play an important role in helping older adults maintain their independence and quality of life.

After a spinal cord injury, moving safely from the bed to a wheelchair or during everyday activities is an important part of protecting the body and preventing falls or further injury. Rehabilitation provides training and support to help people move safely, adapt to changes in mobility, and become more independent.

Rehabilitation focuses on:
• Building strength in muscles that still move
• Improving balance and sitting control
• Teaching safe transfer techniques and body positioning
• Using wheelchairs, slide boards, grab bars, and other adaptive equipment safely
• Regaining independence with daily activities like dressing, bathing, and eating

Physical and occupational therapists also teach caregivers proper techniques to help prevent injuries to themselves and their loved ones.

Recovery after sepsis doesn’t necessarily end when the infection is gone. Sepsis and prolonged hospitalization can leave individuals with muscle weakness, fatigue, difficulty walking, and challenges with everyday activities. Rehabilitation can help address these challenges.

Physical therapy helps rebuild strength, balance, mobility, and endurance so patients can move more safely. Occupational therapy focuses on daily activities such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and returning to work or home routines. OTs can also help with memory or “brain fog” and recommend strategies or equipment to make daily tasks easier. For some patients, speech therapy may also be needed for swallowing, communication, or cognitive difficulties.

Together, these therapies provide an interdisciplinary approach to recovery, helping patients work toward greater function and independence.
