2023sat17jun8:00 am6:00 pmHead & Neck Cancer – Duarte, CACity of Hope - Duarte, CA, 1500 E Duarte RoadEvent Type :Academy Courses

Event Details

Cancers of the head and neck make up about 4% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. Although cancers of the head and neck are not the most common cancers, there is a high frequency, severity, and complexity of needs experienced by persons diagnosed and treated for head and neck cancer. Medical management of head and neck cancer includes a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments, which can result in a multitude of impairments in body function and structure, contributing to activity limitations, participation restrictions, and reduced health related quality of life.

This one-day educational session will review the medical management of head and neck cancer and associated side effects, along with the evaluation and treatment of neck dysfunction, temporomandibular dysfunction/trismus, and shoulder dysfunction/spinal accessory neuropathy. This educational session will include lecture, demonstration, hands-on or lab activities, and group discussion. A focus will be to provide the best available evidence for addressing the rehabilitation needs of survivors of head and neck cancer.

Location

1500 E Duarte Road

Course Objectives

Describe the common medical management strategies for patients with a diagnosis of head and neck cancer.
Understand how medical management (surgery and radiation) may affect the temporomandibular joint, cervical spine, and shoulder.
Evaluate impairments in body function and structure, activity limitations and participation restrictions related to a head and neck cancer diagnosis and the side effects of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Hosting A Regional Course With APTA Oncology

APTA Oncology has several course offerings looking for partners to host. The host facility will be chosen based on the guarantee that they can draw a minimum of 15 registrants. These registrants can come from the host facility or local facilities.

Please click on the Sample Regional Course Facility Contract for more information.

Clinical Internships & Mentors

The map below provides a snapshot of oncology rehabilitation facilities across the country that are willing to offer clinical affiliations, as well as mentors who have volunteered to share their time and expertise. These lists are ever-evolving!

APTA Oncology will share the list of clinical affiliation sites with academic institutions upon request. It will be the responsibility of the academic institution to contact the facility and to develop the clinical affiliation. Placing your facility’s name on the list of potential affiliation sites in no way obligates you to provide a clinical affiliation for a particular academic institution.

Mentors who have provided their information have shared their contact information in the hope that students, new professionals, and professionals new to oncology rehabilitation or simply wanting to network or collaborate will reach out. Individuals are encouraged to reach out independently to the mentor of their choosing.

Sharing clinical affiliation and mentorship opportunities are great ways for APTA Oncology members to help spread the word about oncology rehabilitation and to educate current and future members.

If you are interested in having your clinic included on this map, please send the following information to info@oncologypt.org: name of facility, contact person, address, phone number, email address, type of facility, and patient population(s). If you are an individual willing to provide mentorship and wish to be included on this map, please reach out to our Secretary, Shounak Shah (contact info below).

Thank you in advance for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience. Questions? Please contact our Secretary, Shounak Shah, at secretary@oncologypt.org .
