Abstract:
This report addresses physical activity (PA) levels and education preferences in young adult cancer survivors (YACS) and outlines strategies for the design of successful interventions. A cross-sectional design was used to assess PA in 124 YACS, using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. Recommended levels were reported by 20.2% and 42.5% for high and moderate PA in metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes/week, respectively, while 37.3% reported low level PA in MET-minutes/week. Eighty percent reported likely to use technology for education about PA. Prior research supports using technology to administer tailored interventions to promote consistent PA among YACS, ideally in nature-based activities.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
