Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer Survival Analysis

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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Exercise Science
Digital Health

Background:

Exercise improves physical function and quality of life in cancer patients.
Barriers to in-person exercise programs necessitate virtual alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

To review existing research on virtually delivered supervised exercise interventions for individuals with cancer.

Main Methods:

Scoping review of randomized controlled trials, pilot, and feasibility studies.
Searched multiple databases including EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library.

Main Results:

Fifteen studies utilized virtual platforms (primarily Zoom) for group exercise (aerobic and resistance).
High attendance (78–100%) and satisfaction (94–100%) were reported, with low attrition (0–29%).
Improvements observed in strength, endurance, pain, fatigue, and emotional well-being with no major adverse events.

Conclusions:

Virtually supervised exercise is feasible and safe for cancer patients, comparable to in-person programs.
These programs can enhance physical function and quality of life.
Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm findings.
