Background
This study examined associations of device‐measured physical activity and sedentary time with quality of life (QOL) and fatigue in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in the Alberta Moving Beyond Breast Cancer (AMBER) cohort study.
Methods
After diagnosis, 1409 participants completed the SF‐36 version 2 and the Fatigue Scale, wore an ActiGraph device on their right hip to measure...
Background
The benefits of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for breast cancer survivors are well established. However, most are insufficiently active. Fit2Thrive used the Multiphase Optimization Strategy methodology to determine the effect of 5 intervention components on MVPA in this population.
Methods
Two hundred sixty‐nine participants (mean age, 52.5 years; SD, 9.9 years) received...
Background
Selective neck dissection (SND) is a mainstay of head and neck cancer treatment. A common sequela is shoulder syndrome from spinal accessory nerve (SAN) trauma. Extensive dissection in neck levels 2 and 5 leads to SAN dysfunction. However, it is not known whether limited level 2 dissection reduces SAN injury. The purpose of this double‐blind randomized controlled trial was to determine...
Background
Metabolic syndrome (MSY) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and recurrence in breast cancer survivors (BCS). MSY is 1.5 times more common in Hispanic women compared with non‐Hispanic women. Although exercise mitigates MSY in BCS, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, few studies to date have focused on minorities. This secondary analysis examined...
BACKGROUND
Testicular cancer survivors (TCS) have an increased risk of treatment‐related cardiovascular disease (CVD), which may limit their overall survival. We evaluated the effects of high‐intensity aerobic interval training (HIIT) on traditional and novel CVD risk factors and surrogate markers of mortality in a population‐based sample of TCS.
METHODS
This phase 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier...
BACKGROUNDThe purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a clinician referral and exercise program in improving exercise levels and quality of life for men with prostate cancer.
METHODSThis was a multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial in Melbourne, Australia comprising 15 clinicians: 8 clinicians were randomized to refer eligible participants (n = 54) to a 12‐week exercise program...
BACKGROUNDThe primary purpose of this study was to determine associations of accelerometer‐assessed moderate‐ to vigorous‐intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time with health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical function and well‐being in colon cancer survivors.
METHODSColon cancer survivors (N = 178) from Alberta, Canada (n = 92) and Western Australia (n = 86) completed a mailed...
BACKGROUNDSedentary behavior may independently contribute to morbidity and mortality among survivors of colorectal cancer. In the current study, the authors assessed whether a telephone‐delivered multiple health behavior change intervention had an effect on the sedentary behavior of recently diagnosed colorectal cancer survivors.
METHODSA total of 410 participants were recruited through the Queensland...
BACKGROUND:Health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), body mass index (BMI), and physical activity (PA) levels have all been associated with prognosis following breast cancer and may explain partially the higher mortality for breast cancer in certain racial/ethnic subgroups. In this study, associations between PA, BMI, and HRQOL by race were examined in a sample of breast cancer survivors.
METHODS:Measures...
