We proposed the Physical Activity and Cancer Control (PACC) framework in 2007 to help organise, focus, stimulate research on physical activity eight cancer control categories: prevention, detection, treatment preparation/coping, coping/effectiveness, recovery/rehabilitation, disease prevention/health promotion, palliation, survival. This perspective paper provides a high-level overview of scientific advances across categories, summarises current guidelines, updates PACC framework, identifies remaining emerging knowledge gaps, future directions. Many have been made that are reflected updated guidelines for six categories apart from detection palliation. Nevertheless, minimal optimal type, dose, timing remain unknown, especially understudied population subgroups defined by age, race/ethnicity, resource level regions/countries. To achieve full benefit control, should use innovative study designs include diverse at-risk populations sites. Additionally, effective behaviour change strategies needed increase levels implementation science accelerate translation evidence generation into practical, real-world interventions.

Strategies to improve participation in exercise programmes during chemotherapy: a modified nominal group technique

Journal of Cancer Survivorship, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

Exercise can help people manage many of the side effects chemotherapy treatment. Clear guidelines exist outlining benefits exercise during and recommended dosage; however, achieving these remains problematic. The purpose this study is to reach an agreement on suitable strategies improve recruitment, adherence, retention rates programmes with involvement key stakeholders. This used a modified nominal group technique (NGT). Participants included individuals lived experience healthcare professionals working in oncology. Three workshops were carried out, two in-person one online. addressed first four stages NGT, introduction, idea generation, round-robin recording, discussion. Voting ranking ideas occurred online workshop. Nineteen took part study, including 12 seven professionals. highest-ranked strategy recruitment was inform about at time receiving their treatment plan, 53% preference votes. also agreed that direct instruction from oncologist would have greatest impact successful programme, 47% To enhance programme delivered facility received 46% Finally, 43% participants provision pedometer support retention, 86% wanted receive weekly phone calls/check-ins. provides overcome barriers chemotherapy, will optimise participant engagement for future interventions. stakeholders contribute towards ensuring interventions are pragmatic patient-centred.

An integrated framework for the study of exercise across the postdiagnosis cancer continuum

Frontiers in Oncology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14

Опубликована: Сен. 23, 2024

Exercise plays many important roles across the entire cancer continuum that have been described in previous frameworks. These frameworks, however, generally provided a simplified description of exercise postdiagnosis. The modern treatment landscape has become complex and often consists multiple lines multimodal treatments combined concurrently and/or sequentially delivered over months or years. This complexity requires more multifaceted targeted approach to study after diagnosis. Here, we propose new integrated framework—Exercise Across Postdiagnosis Cancer Continuum (EPiCC)—that highlights distinct for disease supportive care from diagnosis until death. We also terminology clarify emerge context landscape. EPiCC Framework is structured around sequential highlight six treatment-related time periods exercise—before treatments, during between immediately successful longer term survivorship end life unsuccessful treatments. proposes specific as intervention will vary depending on its positioning within different combinations. As treatment, may serve “priming therapy”, primary therapy, neoadjuvant induction “bridging adjuvant consolidation maintenance salvage therapy. intervention, prehabilitation, intrahabilitation, interhabilitation, rehabilitation, “perihabilitation”, health promotion/disease prevention, palliation. To date, studied all but only relation some Moreover, fewer studies examined any combination. Future research needed contained aim stimulate targeted, integrated, clinically-informed

Abstract Purpose Retention is a key marker of trial success. Poor retention can induce bias, reduce statistical power and minimise the validity trials. This review examined rates in exercise trials cancer survivors, reasons for non-retention strategies utilised. Methods A systematic was conducted using predefined search strategy EMBASE RCTs, MEDLINE OVID, CINAHL, Web Science—Core Collection Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). The on 27/03/2023. Title abstract screening, full text data extraction were completed duplicate. Results Of 17,524 studies identified, 67 involving 6093 participants included. median overall rate immediately post-intervention 89.85%, range (52.94–100%) mean 87.36% (standard deviation 9.89%). colorectal survivors only had highest (94.61%), followed by breast (92.74%), prostate (86.00%) haematological cancers (85.49%). Studies mixed cohorts lowest (80.18%). most common wait-list control groups, regular check-ins/reminders free equipment. Common lost to follow-up, health problems, personal including family/work commitments travel burden, disease progression. Conclusions oncology are approximately 90% post-interventions. Our previous work highlighted variable suboptimal recruitment 38% (range 0.52–100%). Recruitment rather than should be prioritised methodology research oncology.
