Abstract:
Cancer survivors are at increased risk of chronic disease and diminished quality of life. The presence of overweight and obesity can exacerbate these health risks. Fortunately, even small weight losses have been found to produce clinically meaningful health outcomes. However, effective obesity treatment is difficult to access, and recently, efforts have been made to disseminate interventions using eHealth or distantly delivered technology.
