Congratulations to THRIVE-65 MPI, @fitaftercancer!

[Dr Kathryn Schmitz @fitaftercancer]

Very proud to be the first cancer researcher to receive this national award. Clearly exercise oncology is mainstream!

[ENICTO Consortium @ENICTO_Study]

An initial paper on the ENICTO Consortium has been published in @JNCI_Now describing how exercise and nutrition might impact treatment outcomes and how common data elements are being used to explore distinct and collective research questions.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Can you spot some of the risk factors for colorectal cancer?
ENICTO projects ACTION and TNT are working to identify tolerable yet effective doses of aerobic exercise for patients undergoing treatment for colon and rectal cancer.

Check out @PBRCNews' feature on ENICTO member Justin Brown, PI of the ACTION trial, to share his story and motivation for the work he is doing today.

[Pennington Biomedical Research Center @PBRCNews]

Justin Brown was only 14 when his father passed away from colon cancer. At that moment, Dr. Brown’s future career path became instantly clear.

While the FORCE trial did not find resistance training to impact RDI, results point to other health benefits for cancer survivors, such as increased lean mass among the frail. ENICTO and future trials will continue to test the impact of various exercise modalities on RDI.

@ACSMNews and @AmericanCancer have released the ACSM-ACS Cancer Exercise Specialist Course, a training for practitioners looking to provide safe, effective and individualized exercise programs to anyone living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis. https://t.co/au5AcQzDBL

[EON Network @EON_Network]

Relevant Recent Research: @ENICTO_Study PI Jess Scott (@cardiac_fitness) contributed to a recent publication in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that found implementing exercise after a cancer diagnosis decreases risk of mortality. Read it here: https://t.co/Rwt0PTl9oQ

And while Breast Cancer Awareness Month may be coming to a close, you can always learn more about breast cancer and screening at https://t.co/Q6itsI2C8B

[ENICTO Consortium @ENICTO_Study]

For many women, nothing could be scarier than a breast cancer diagnosis. That’s why @fitaftercancer and the THRIVE-65 team are working to determine an effective regimen of exercise and protein intake to improve outcomes for elder women undergoing chemotherapy. 🩷
