Summary

This study looks at whether cancer patients and their doctors have similar expectations about how well patients will perform daily activities after short-term inpatient rehabilitation. About 133 adults with cancer who can tolerate 3 hours of rehab per day will fill out questionnaires before and after rehab. The goal is to identify any gaps in expectations to improve communication and care.
