New and #OpenAccess from @fitaftercancer et al | Exercise is recommended during and after cancer treatment, but proximity to exercise and rehabilitation services varies by geography (rural vs. urban), socioeconomic status, and race.

Announcing the publication of the first text to address exercise oncology at the undergraduate level. Available NOW. Our goal with this text is for undergrad ex sci programs to add a course on ex onc, toward the goal of expanding the ex onc workforce.

Hot off the press! AICR is proud to share that Nigel Brockton (VP of Research) has co-written the chapter on cancer in the nutrition textbook Essentials of Clinical Nutrition in Healthcare with Dr. Amy Comander and dietitian Carol Sullivan. Congrats, Nigel https://t.co/xMnyFdAAl3

Despite recommendations for cancer survivors to exercise, about 84 percent aren’t active enough. Being active can help prevent cancer recurrence. Aim for 150 minutes per week. Learn more here: https://t.co/lUbLj3SSUn

Agree 110%
It sounds really good to say "survivorship starts at diagnosis" BUT
The field of oncology absolutely does not function in this manner.
The culture in our field does not reflect this as the prevailing paradigm.
Often heard at conferences or read in papers..."once the patient moves to survivorship..." 🤦‍♀️
Survivorship needs to be a system of care that walks alongside the patient throughout the entirety of their treatment and beyond.
Were this paradigm to change, and ALL patients with cancer receive ongoing assessment of needs and supportive care throughout treatment, I believe it would go a long way to being more inclusive of those with advanced disease.
SURVIVORSHIP STARTS AT DIAGNOSIS

Newly diagnosed #cancer patients can greatly benefit from exercise -before, during & after diagnosis. Exercise oncologist, Dr. Katie Schmitz (@fitaftercancer) developed ways to increase referrals & introduce exercise programs proven to benefit patients.

I wrote a thing.

A thing about AYA survivorship.

A thing about how we (hopefully) have decades of life ahead of us…which means we have decades of late effects that we need to have addressed.

It’s here! The latest @AmericanCancer statistics report reveals that 4.1 million deaths from cancer have been averted since 1991, largely due to reductions in smoking and improvements in treatment and early detection.

Are exercise & physical activity the same thing in cancer rehab? 🤷‍♀️
