Assessment of cancer rehabilitation outcome measures is integral for patient assessment, symptom screening, and advancing scientific research. In the broad field of cancer rehabilitation, outcome measures can cross-cut across many different branches of oncologic care including clinician-reported, patient-reported, and objective measures. Specific outcome measures that apply to cancer rehabilitation include those pertinent to pain, function, quality of life, fatigue, and cognition. These outcome measures, when used in cancer rehabilitation, can be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention and to triage to the appropriate supportive care service. This review article summarizes some of the commonly used outcome measures that can be applied in the cancer rehabilitation setting to support scholarly work and patient care.
