Disclaimer: I didn't plan for this episode (regarding respiratory issues) to coincide with COVID-19 being the news headlines. I actually planned this episode a few months ago. But, c'est la vie, & here we are.

In today's episode, I'm discussing Lung Cancer, common treatments, & how PT can help throughout the entire spectrum of lung cancer care, from diagnosis to end-of-life. I've listed my references at the bottom of the show notes, & they were so helpful - I would definitely add them to your library to review!

We're back with part 2 of Beth's interview about gynecological cancer, its treatments, & how the pelvic floor is affected. Plus Beth's recommendations on products & strategies for your patients!

Today's a big day because we're talking about something we haven't yet on TheOncoPT Podcast - pelvic floor & gynecological cancers! Even if you're not a pelvic floor PT, we still have a lot to offer to help these patients, & if you're not looking out for these impairments, you are missing out on a lot that these patients are experiencing. Beth Hoag, PT is my special guest today, here to talk all about the effects of gynecological cancers & their treatment on the pelvic floor.

 February is National Cancer Prevention Month, & while we as PTs may not think of ourselves in a cancer prevention role, we have great opportunities to educate our patients & empower them to take control of their health.

This episode is for every PT professional & student, whether your interest is in outpatient, inpatient, home health, neurological, orthopedic, acute care, wound care, aquatics, pelvic floor, vestibular, or oncology patient populations.

Regardless of your practice area, you can & should be having these conversations with patients.
