Introduction: This project aims to (1) assess the effect of exercise interventions on cancer survival using data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and (2) establish an open-access, continuously updated resource synthesizing evidence on exercise and cancer survival.
Methods: A systematic search for this living review (PROSPERO: CRD420251081208) was conducted in October 2025 to...
Purpose/Objective
To evaluate the value and cost-effectiveness of two exercise oncology implementation models within radiotherapy care. The study aimed to determine whether embedding accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) in cancer clinics improves patient quality of life and represents value for money compared to standard care.
Material/Methods
A mixed-methods design was employed across...
Background: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most prevalent and severe symptom experienced among cancer patients. It impacts both physical and mental well-being and is not relieved by rest. Research indicates that exercise may improve CRF.
Methods: We conducted four Cochrane systematic reviews to assess the impact of three exercise modalities (i.e., cardiovascular training (CT),...
Purpose: Returning to work after a cancer diagnosis can be challenging due to a number of factors, including cancer- and treatment-related side effects such as fatigue. Exercise is known to have beneficial effects on fatigue and may therefore also support return to work. The aim of this study was to investigate whether exercising after diagnosis is positively associated with return to...
Purpose: Structured exercise, nutrition, and stress-management programs improve survival and quality of life (QoL) in cancer survivors, but adoption is limited by low adherence, cost, and access barriers. We evaluated a synchronous telehealth intervention delivering computationally personalized regimens in exercise, nutrition, and stress relief, guided by oncology-trained health coaches,...
