Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
An active lifestyle after a cancer diagnosis can reduce the side effects of treatment and improve quality of life, mental health, and survival. Recent evidence in the literature confirms its benefits across various types and stages of cancer. However, the majority of cancer patients do not reach the recommended levels of physical activity due to physical, psychological, and logistical barriers. It is essential that healthcare professionals provide motivational support and address individual barriers to physical activity through the active involvement of patients, thus promoting the adoption and maintenance of an active lifestyle. To achieve this, personalization of physical activity programs is crucial. For this reason, the MOvement \& REhabilitation clinic was established in 2022, where a dedicated physiotherapist provides personalized consultations and educational support to promote physical activity among cancer patients. This study aims to evaluate the trend over time in the amount of physical activity among cancer patients attending the "MOvement and REhabilitation" (MO.RE) clinic. The study also seeks to assess patient engagement, the amount of resources used to help patients maintain an active lifestyle, and any barriers to physical activity.
