Filter by:This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise works in targeting metabolic dysregulation in stage I-III breast or prostate cancer survivors. Circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise may help to improve cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and muscle strength in breast or prostate cancer survivors.
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 randomized phase II trial studies how well physical activity works in reducing metabolic dysregulation in obese Latina breast cancer survivors. Physical activity may improve fitness and lessen metabolic disease (such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes) risk factors in patients who have breast cancer.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well exercise intervention works in targeting adiposity and inflammation with movement to improve prognosis in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Different types of exercise may reduce inflammation in fat tissue and minimize the risk of cancer recurrence related to being overweight or obese.
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.
This clinical trial studies how well a long-term follow-up works in patients with prostate cancer after surgery. Long-term follow-up data may serve as a resource to help ask clinical questions, describe health-related quality of life and long-term complications related, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and health-related quality of life in prostate cancer survivors.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well mindfulness meditation or survivorship education work in improving behavioral symptoms in younger stage 0-III breast cancer survivors. Behavioral interventions, such as mindfulness meditation, use techniques to help patients change the way they react to environmental triggers that may cause a negative reaction. Survivorship education after treatment may reduce stress and improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with breast cancer. Mindfulness meditation or survivorship education may help improve the health behaviors of younger breast cancer survivors.
Gardening interventions yield a multitude of measurable benefits that are evaluable within the context of a clinical trial. Harvest for Health forges new inroads in the delivery of holistic interventions to high risk populations, in this case, older cancer survivors. Since the intervention banks on an existing organization's infrastructure, it can easily be disseminated nationwide. The next step is to prove efficacy - an essential step in contributing to the science in this area, and one which is crucial for future dissemination.
