Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between body composition, overall survival, odds of receiving treatment, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in individuals living with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).
Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted in newly diagnosed patients with mNSCLC who had computed-tomography (CT) scans and completed PRO questionnaires close to metastatic diagnosis date. Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression evaluated overall survival and odds of receiving treatment, respectively.
Introduction/background: Prognostication by performance status (PS) assessment is a fundamental element of treatment decisions and clinical trial design in oncology, but it is limited by subjectivity and potential miscommunication between patient, physician, and family. Activity tracker offers the potential to collect a broad range of patient-generated data to supplement the assessment of PS.
Patients And Methods: Patients with metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC) participated in a single institute, prospective, observational feasibility study conducted at Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Article Synopsis
- Lifestyle interventions, like diet and exercise, can improve physical function in younger cancer survivors (<60 years), but their effects on older survivors (≥60 years) are less understood.
- This scoping review analyzed existing research on diet and exercise's impact on physical function in older cancer survivors, reviewing 49 relevant studies out of nearly 20,000 articles.
- While most studies showed that these interventions helped maintain or boost physical function, the review highlighted gaps in research, such as the need for more focused trials on older survivors, particularly regarding diet and exercise combined.
Background: Regular physical activity improves cancer survivors' health-related quality of life and physical function. We estimated the proportion of Utah cancer survivors meeting U.S.

- Muscle mass is crucial for men with metastatic prostate cancer, and conventional androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can lead to significant muscle loss and related health issues like fatigue and reduced quality of life.
- A study is proposed to assess the impact of creatine supplementation combined with resistance training (Cr + RT) over 52 weeks on muscle mass and health outcomes in men undergoing ADT.
- This trial will use a home-based, telehealth approach for resistance training, aiming to overcome fatigue barriers and improve the well-being of mCSPC survivors.
