Introduction: In lung cancer, physical activity may help to manage treatment-related side effect thus improving treatment tolerance. However, a cancer diagnosis often triggers behavioral shifts that may contribute to increase the sedentary habits and reduce physical activity. This study esplored physical activity levels, nutritional and sarcopenia risk, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising among adults under 55 years, but its causes remain unclear. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to identify risk factors for early-onset CRC (EOCRC).
Methods
We pooled three large European prospective cohort studies, examining 14 known or suspected risk factors with EOCRC (diagnosed <55 years, N = 1369) and later-onset CRCs... -

Robotic-assisted colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is increasingly adopted due to improved surgical precision and recovery profiles, yet postoperative complications remain common. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides objective measures of physiological reserve, but it is unclear which CPET-derived parameters are most clinically informative for risk stratification in... -

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART), used to treat hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM) and diffuse large cell B lymphoma (DLBCL), offers a chance of lasting remission for relapsed and refractory disease. Unfortunately, symptom burden can be high and impact clinical outcomes and functionality, leading to impaired patient quality of life. PURPOSE: Assess...

Background: Postoperative bowel dysfunction—including increased bloating, fecal incontinence, and embarrassment—is highly prevalent among colorectal cancer survivors and substantially impairs quality of life. Although exercise has shown promise for improving bowel motility, pelvic floor function, and overall physical recovery, little is known about which types of exercise are effective...

ABSTRACT
Go to contribution page
Background: Higher levels of physical activity (PA) are associated with better quality of life in survivors of head and neck cancer (sHNC). Nevertheless, many sHNC exhibit sedentary behaviour or engage in very low activity levels. Particularly those with advanced disease are challenged by the sequelae of their extensive treatment regimens. Switzerland lacks guidelines on... -

Background

Aging is associated with progressive declines in muscle strength and mobility, which may be exacerbated in individuals with cancer due to disease-related systemic inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and accelerated muscle catabolism. In colorectal cancer, tumor-driven cytokine activity, decreased nutritional intake, and reduced habitual physical activity may further compromise... -

Preclinical models using osteogenic exercise have demonstrated mechanical load-induced changes delay osteolytic activity and rescue bone loss. Our recent work in multiple myeloma (MM) identified individualised targeted exercise can reduce bone pain; however, research is yet to explore the potential effect of exercise on bone health.

Patients with pancreatic cancer often experience fatigue, sarcopenia, and reduced physical function, which can impair daily activities and quality of life. Targeted physical activity interventions, including both aerobic and resistance exercises, are essential to maintain muscle mass, improve functional capacity, and support treatment outcomes. The EU-Project RELEVIUM integrates... -

Early detection of glioblastoma (GBM) recurrence remains challenging. In clinical practice, distiguishing true tumor progression from treatment-related changes such as radiation necrosis (pseudoprogression) is difficult. Therefore, complementary markers of early disease activity are of interest. Based on own experiences, we investigated systematically whether documented changes in... -

Approximately 50-75% of the patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases (mCRC) who undergo surgery with curative intent, experience disease recurrence within two years1. Repeated rounds of surgery and chemotherapy result in severe physical deconditioning. Exercise has been shown to improve disease-free survival in colorectal cancer, and early post-operative aerobic exercise is...

BACKGROUND
Go to contribution page
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the UK. Patients are often older, frail, and nutritionally compromised, and routinely excluded from research. Activity and nutrition interventions improve quality of life (QoL) and may enhance treatment outcomes, yet evidence in this population remains limited. The CanBenefit programme addresses this gap through a programme of... -

Background

Exercise prehabilitation can mitigate the risks of cancer surgery, however low recruitment and adherence are commonly described in trials. Patients with low baseline physical activity (PA) levels are likely to benefit the most from prehabilitation but have the lowest uptake.

BACKGROUND: Patients with advanced thoracic cancers undergoing standard radiotherapy (RT) have a high risk of experiencing performance declines and poor quality of life (QOL). Exercise programs may improve objective and subjective performance; yet adherence remains poor. Including family caregivers as active intervention participants may improve adherence and thus efficacy. Thus, this clinical...
