Falls experienced by adult cancer survivors: a scoping review.

A total of 42 articles were included in the scoping review which demonstrated (1) an increased prevalence of falls among cancer survivors, (2) the presence of cancer-specific fall risk factors, (3) a lack of cancer-specific fall prediction tools, and (4) few fall prevention interventions as part of usual care among cancer survivors. Younger cancer survivors were underrepresented. Cancer survivors should be aware of their risk of falls, and health professionals should ensure that fall prevention is part of usual care.
