Lucky for us, Dr. Jen Bernstein is a board certified oncologic clinical specialist who specializes in pediatric oncology, especially osteosarcomas. Jen stopped by the podcast to give us a masterclass on osteosarcomas & how PTs help this unique patient population. Employee Survival Guide® A Podcast only for employees.

What Physical Therapists Must Know about Osteosarcoma
While osteosarcomas are relatively rare, their impact on a person's functional mobility can be substantial. Side effects from osteosarcoma treatment don't just dissipate once treatment finishes. In fact, some side effects last for the rest of the patient's life. This is even more significant when we consider that many of these patients are young & still developing. With so much to consider, how do we know WHAT to know about osteosarcoma? By listening to today's podcast episode! Download your FREE Quick Guide to Treating Patients with Cancer.

Osteosarcoma is a Rare but Problematic Cancer
July is sarcoma & bone tumor awareness month. While sarcomas only make up ~1% of total cancer diagnoses, osteosarcomas disproportionately affect young individuals more & can contribute to a significant amount of functional mobility issues. We as physical therapists must understand what osteosarcoma is, how it’s treated, & how it thus affects our patients so we’re prepared to treat them effectively.

Stop Ignoring the Elephant in the Room
Sometimes we encounter really uncomfortable conversation topics in oncology physical therapy: pee, poop, sex, stomas, death… It may be tempting to avoid these, but that’s actually the worst thing we can do as OncoPTs. So what are we supposed to do instead? Lean into them. Have the conversations. Open the door for openness & honesty with your patients. Because if you’re not having these conversations with your patients, they’re probably not happening at all. In her words, Dr. Liz O'Riordan is a breast surgeon who got breast cancer - & it changed her whole approach to patient care, including actually having the hard, difficult, uncomfortable conversations with her patients.
