A clinical conversation discusses a prospective screening approach for persons undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, highlighting the importance of objective assessment of physical function. The case report brings awareness to the possibility of axillary web syndrome occurring in persons without a history of breast cancer or surgery. The case series describes the effects of high-velocity resistance training in 3 women diagnosed with cancer who experienced chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Two authors also describe how APTA Oncology and the profession aim to achieve the visions of the APTA and APTA Oncology.Front Matter
