Physical inactivity and low fitness deserve more attention to alter cancer risk and prognosis.
2015
Abstract Sedentary lifestyle is associated with elevated cancer risk whereas regular physical activity (PA) and high cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) have the opposite effect, with several biologic mechanisms mediating such associations. There is a need for lifestyle interventions aimed at increasing the PA levels and CRF of the general population and particularly cancer survivors. Furthermore, provocative data suggest a dose-dependent benefit of increasing levels of PA and/or CRF against cancer risk or mortality. Thus, current PA guidelines (≥150 min/wk of moderate-to-vigorous PA) may not be sufficiently rigorous for preventing cancer nor for extending cancer survivorship. Research targetin…
Cancer: New Needs, New Models. Is It Time for a Community Oncologist? Another Brick in the Wall
2021
Simple Summary Community care activity in the oncology field does not exist. This unmet need contrasts with the increasing number of patients with a previous diagnosis of cancer. Abstract Over the last few decades, thanks to early detection, effective drugs, and personalized treatments, the natural history of cancer has radically changed. Thanks to these advances, we have observed how survival of cancer patients has increased, becoming an ever more important goal in cancer care. Effective clinical governance of survivorship care is essential to ensure a successful transition between active and post-treatment life, identifying optimization of healthcare outcomes and quality of life for patie…

Existe un vasto cuerpo de investigación que evalúa los efectos de las intervenciones psicosociales sobre la adaptación psicológica durante el tratamiento del cáncer (Antoni, 2013; Guo et al., 2013; Stanton, 2006; Stanton, Luecken, MacKinnon y Thompson, 2013). En entornos oncológicos, las intervenciones basadas en Mindfulness han demostrado su eficacia para promover el bienestar y los dominios de calidad de vida (Sinatra y Black, 2018; Zainal, Booth y Huppert, 2013), estrategias de afrontamiento constructivas frente al estrés psicosocial relacionado con la enfermedad, aliviando la ansiedad, el estrés, la fatiga, el estado de ánimo general, la alteración del sueño (Carlson et al., 2003; Carls…
