Background Research into the clustering of symptoms may improve understanding underlying mechanisms that affect survivors' symptom burden. This study applied network analyses in a balanced sample cancer survivors to 1) explore and 2) assess differences between types, treatment regimens, short‐term long‐term survivors. Methods used cross‐sectional survey data, collected 2008 2018, from population‐based Patient Reported Outcomes Following Initial Treatment Long Term Evaluation Survivorship...

Abstract We examined adherence to the eight The World Cancer Research Foundation/American Institute for ( WCRF / AICR ) recommendations on diet, physical activity, and body weight among colorectal cancer survivors, whether was associated with intention eat healthy need dietary advice. Adherence these may putatively reduce risk of recurrence death. Studies in CRC survivors are lacking. assessed a cross‐sectional study 1196 could range between 0 (no adherence) 8 points (complete adherence)....

As a consequence of ovarian cancer and its treatment, many women with have to deal reduced physical function, fatigue, loss weight and/or muscle mass, compromising quality life. Exercise dietary interventions can positively influence body composition, fitness fatigue in patients cancer. However, there are no data from randomised controlled trials on the effectiveness exercise Due complex disease trajectory, relatively poor survival distinct disease-induced treatment-induced side effects, it...
Abstract To take cancer survivorship research to the next level, it’s important gain insight in trajectories of changing patient-reported outcomes and impaired recovery after cancer. This is needed as number survivors increasing a large proportion confronted with health treatment. Mechanistic can facilitate development personalized risk-stratified follow-up care tailored interventions promote healthy survivorship. We describe how these be studied by taking recently extended Dutch...
