Cancer-related impairments and functional limitations among long-term cancer survivors: Gaps and opportunities for clinical practice

This commentary provides a concise overview of the epidemiology of cancer survivorship and work, common functional limitations experienced by cancer survivors, and evidence-based recommendations for interventions available to improve function. It also describes the US Social Security Administration's disability claims process, its eligibility requirements, and barriers for long-term survivors in securing approval for disability claims, and offers insights for practicing clinicians in holistically addressing functional limitations in practice.
