Background: Physical activity decreases risk of colon polyps and colon cancer and might reduce risk of colon cancer recurrence. Focusing on recent calls for translation of epidemiologic evidence into clinical care, our pilot study delivered an evidence-based physical activity intervention in adults with polyps, who are thus at elevated risk ...
Context Performance status (PS) is a predictor of response to chemotherapy but difficult to identify in patients with advanced lung cancer. It is measured using the ECOG scale, which relies on simple questions to assign a score. Accuracy in measurement is a concern. PS is closely related to physical activity, ...
Physical activity is becoming increasingly recognized as valuable to cancer patients during treatment and rehabilitation. Therefore strategies and measures to encourage patients to become more active and to achieve physical activity recommendations are of great importance. Purpose The study evaluated an accelerometer based biofeedback device by measuring the change of ...
This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of two self-report physical activity (PA) questionnaires - the AQuAA (Activity Questionnaire for Adults and Adolescents) and PASE (Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly) - in cancer patients.
