This study will test if a smartphone program and social media group can help Hispanic/Latino teens and young adults who had childhood cancer become more physically active. You would wear a Fitbit and use a phone app with culturally tailored tips and support.
This trial tests a community-based physical activity program designed for people who have had cancer or care for someone who has. The goal is to see if it can help improve health and well-being for those not currently on active treatment.
This study tests whether adding an exercise and activity tracking program can help patients with newly diagnosed gynecologic cancer feel better and handle treatment more easily. You'll wear a Fitbit and get guidance on movement while you go through chemotherapy or surgery.
This study compares how physical activity answers on a questionnaire match what a motion tracker measures. It may help researchers understand activity levels in people with lymphoma, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer during treatment.
This study tests whether wearing a fitness tracker (like a step counter) is a practical way to measure how active you are while you are in an early-phase cancer clinical trial. It will help researchers see if this is something they can use in future trials.
This trial tests whether a tailored, home-based exercise plan can improve exercise capacity (how far and how safely you can be active) in people receiving cancer treatments that may affect the heart. It may help you build safer stamina while monitoring your heart health.
