Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.3K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

472
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Cancer

50.1K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

8.0K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
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...

Adaptive Mechanisms in Cancer Cells02:53

Adaptive Mechanisms in Cancer Cells

6.0K
Cancer cells accumulate genetic changes at an abnormally rapid rate due to the defects in the DNA repair mechanisms. From an evolutionary perspective, such genetic instability is advantageous for cancer development. Mutant cell lines accumulate a series of beneficial mutations that contribute to their progression into cancer.
Some of the advantages that cancer cells have on normal cells include - enhanced ability to divide without terminally differentiating, induce new blood vessel formation,...

What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

11.3K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Exercise Science
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Limited access to exercise therapy for cancer survivors necessitates improved professional development.
  • A scarcity of online resources exists for exercise professionals working with cancer patients.
  • Addressing this gap is crucial for enhancing survivorship care through exercise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a freely accessible online toolkit.
  • The toolkit aims to support exercise professionals in delivering exercise therapy to cancer survivors.
  • Focus on usability, utility, and effectiveness in improving professional knowledge, confidence, and behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Experience-based co-design approach in two phases: needs identification/co-design and pilot evaluation.
  • Four co-design workshops informed the development of 8 key toolkit elements.
  • Pilot evaluation used the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire and website analytics.

Main Results:

  • The Cancer Exercise Toolkit was co-designed with 25 exercise professionals, featuring 8 core components.
  • Pilot evaluation involved 277 respondents from 26 countries, with 58 completing 3-month follow-up.
  • Significant increases in exercise professionals' knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing cancer survivors were observed (P<.001).

Conclusions:

  • The co-designed online Cancer Exercise Toolkit is a valuable resource for exercise professionals.
  • The toolkit has the potential to enhance the delivery of exercise therapy for cancer survivors.
  • Findings suggest improved professional capacity to support cancer survivorship through exercise interventions.
