Filter by:This randomized phase II trial will enroll overweight cancer survivors. Subjects in both groups will be educated to follow a diet pattern similar to what is recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the American Institute for Cancer Research (DGA/AICR) but one group will also receive 18 ounces of lean beef for incorporation into a healthy diet. Subjects will be encouraged to exercise regularly and activity will be monitored throughout the study. Nutrition and exercise may help cancer survivors successfully maintain improved dietary patterns, body composition, and physical activity efforts and consumption of beef may favorably impact lean body mass and specific nutritional outcomes.
This randomized pilot trial studies how well North American ginseng extract AFX-2 (ginseng) works in decreasing cancer-related fatigue after treatment in cancer survivors. Ginseng may decrease fatigue in people who were treated for cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well the True NTH Community of Wellness internet-based exercise and diet support works in improving diet and exercise habits in prostate cancer survivors. Internet-based exercise and diet support may help better control treatment-related side effects and symptoms, better overall quality of life, and lower risk factors associated with cancer progression.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well a health and recovery program works in increasing physical activity level in stage IA-IIIA endometrial cancer survivors. Health and recovery program which includes exercise counseling, Fitbit tracker, and phone or email/text communication may increase the level of physical activity in endometrial cancer survivors and promote and maintain behavior change at a lower cost.
Emerging evidence suggests that both extending kindness towards others and self-kindness practices may have beneficial effects on well-being. This randomized pilot clinical trial will investigate the efficacy of two kindness interventions -acts of kindness (to self or to other) and loving-kindness meditation- for use with early-stage breast cancer survivors.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well fraction carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy works in treating vaginal atrophy in patients with breast cancer. Fraction CO2 laser therapy uses intense beams of light to cut, burn, or destroy tissue and may remodel vaginal tissue and direct controlled thermal damage of vaginal mucosa.
This pilot study will develop and test a couple-based physical activity intervention among cancer survivors and their partners. Aim 1: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of a couple-based physical activity intervention for cancer survivors. Feasibility will be quantified using rates of study eligibility, overall accrual, attrition, and adherence to the study protocol. Acceptability will be assessed via couples' ratings on a standardized measure of treatment effectiveness/ satisfaction, supplemented open-ended questions Aim 2: To provide preliminary data on the effects of a couple-based physical activity intervention relative to a wait list control group on survivor outcomes (i.e., level of physical activity, quality of life, self-efficacy for achieving and maintaining physical activity goals, perceived partner support for physical activity, and quality of the survivor-partner relationship). The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will produce benefits in each of these domains. Aim 3: To provide preliminary data on the effects of a couple-based physical activity intervention relative to a wait list control group on partner outcomes (i.e., partner's level of physical activity, self-efficacy for helping the survivor achieve and maintain physical activity goals, and quality of the survivor-partner relationship). The investigators hypothesize that the couple-based intervention will produce benefits in each of these domains.
To document levels of labor force participation, occupation, educational attainment, and financial toxicity following cancer treatment in YA cancer survivors aged 25-34 years.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well personalized dietary intervention works in managing bowel dysfunction and improving quality of life in stage I-III rectosigmoid cancer survivors. Personalized dietary intervention may help people understand bowel symptoms, identify helpful and troublesome foods for bowel symptoms, adjust diets and food preparation based on food triggers, and coach on healthy diet recommendations after cancer treatment.
This clinical trial studies a cardiac rehabilitation program in improving cardiorespiratory fitness in stage 0-III breast cancer survivors. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death of women in both the general population and the breast cancer survivor population. There are many risk factors common to both heart disease and breast cancer development, including physical inactivity. A cardiac rehabilitation program may help improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, and improve quality of life among breast cancer survivors.
