Background: Psychological symptoms, including anxiety and depression are prevalent among patients living with and beyond cancer. Limited research suggests that exercise effects might differ between patients with low or elevated symptoms of anxiety or depression. However, single randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often underpowered to detect moderation effects. Hence, drawing on...

Background: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most distressing symptoms experienced by individuals with cancer and significantly affects physical functioning and quality of life. Although exercise is recognized as an effective strategy for managing CRF, racialized women remain underrepresented in exercise oncology research. This systematic review synthesized evidence from randomized...

Purpose-Latina/Hispanic breast cancer survivors (LHBCS) often experience worse outcomes due to late diagnosis, poor treatment adherence, and limited healthcare access. LHBCS also show insufficient physical activity levels, which may contribute to poorer treatment outcomes. Low income, limited education, and restricted healthcare access strongly influence cancer screening and survival....

Background:
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most prevalent and persistent symptoms among cancer survivors, significantly impacting quality of life and functional participation. Exercise is an evidence-based intervention for CRF; however, many survivors remain exercise-naïve and require structured support when initiating exercise... -

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a side effect of the administration of oxaliplatin, a neurotoxic agent, which causes dysfunction of peripheral neurons and interferes with quality of life. Pharmacological therapies have shown limited efficacy in controlling symptoms, leading to the exploration of physical exercise as a therapeutic alternative.... -

Introduction: Breast cancer and obesity have been independently associated with functional limitations and reduced quality of life (QoL). However, the extent to which physical activity modifies obesity-related impairments in breast cancer survivorship remains unclear. This study aimed to compare functional performance and QoL across groups defined by obesity status and physical activity level...

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of neurotoxic chemotherapy that can affect functioning and quality of life. No effective pharmacological treatments exist, highlighting the need to understand non-pharmacological strategies such as exercise. Given significant heterogeneity in the CIPN outcome measures chosen across studies, this scoping review aimed to...

Background: Cognitive impairment, including memory and attention problems (“chemo-brain”), following chemotherapy is present in as many as 70% of patients treated with chemotherapy. High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has shown to be more effective than moderate continuous intensity aerobic exercise for improving cognitive function among adults. Therefore, the CLARITY Trial sought to...

Exercise is increasingly recognized as beneficial in addressing breast cancer treatment-related sequelae including lymphedema. However, uncertainty remains regarding the safety of low levels of supervision. Currently, only supervised exercise is recommended for those at risk of, or with, lymphedema, yet head-to-head trials directly comparing supervision levels are limited. These... -

Background: Despite survival gains with immune checkpoint and targeted therapies, toxicities and adverse effects—particularly fatigue—impair quality of life in melanoma patients. Although exercise benefits are established in oncology, its integration in melanoma care is underexplored. RESPECT examines whether a supervised hybrid (online/in-person) exercise program reduces fatigue and improves...

Introduction: Physical activity during treatment for cancer has been shown to improve function, and reduce treatment-related side effects, but existing evidence is largely derived from early-stage and more common cancers and may not reflect the experiences of women with ovarian cancer. This qualitative study explored side effects associated with chemotherapy and experiences with physical...

Current evidence suggests that exercise is safe and well-tolerated by cancer patients and has potential to mitigate cancer-related fatigue (CRF), a distressing and undermanaged adverse event. This study evaluated if supervised group exercise for 60 minutes (aerobic/strength), 2-3 times/week for 12 weeks, can impact CRF over time. FACIT-FS, a self-reported questionnaire, was used to assess CRF...

Context Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms among cancer survivors. Although physical activity is widely recommended to mitigate CRF, existing evidence largely relies on retrospective, between-person approaches that fail to capture intra-individual fluctuations and contextual influences in daily life. Ambulatory Assessment (AA) enables...
