Abstract

Neurologic tumors account for over 50% of American acute inpatient rehabilitation facility cancer admissions. WHO grade IV astrocytoma (also known as glioblastoma multiforme, high-grade glioma or GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults and is invariably fatal. The majority of primary brain tumor patients experience neurologic deficits. However, under-referral from oncology to rehabilitation has been reported. This brief narrative review article covers functional, medical, and regulatory considerations when rehabilitating brain tumor inpatients.
