Your Core PT assumes that the treating provider has extensive knowledge and continuing education in the specialty area of rehabilitation for breast cancer. The treating provider assumes all responsibility for patient outcomes. It is recommended that the treating provider review materials from 'The Breast Book' with referral sources and physicians as treatment protocols vary regionally and among providers. Your Core PT understands that every breast cancer patient's personal medical history and functional limitations are different, therefor, it is up to the treating medical provider to make appropriate modifications to handouts.
