Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an education session promoting physical activity (PA) among immigrant women, particularly those at risk for cancer, by assessing participation, satisfaction, and potential impact.
- - A total of 60 intervention participants and 41 control participants were involved, with results showing significant increases in PA knowledge, confidence, and behavior at 1 and 6 months post-education for the intervention group compared to controls.
- - The findings highlight the crucial role of community agencies in health promotion, which could be of interest to policy-makers and health leaders looking to address cancer risk in immigrant populations.
Background: Administration of chemotherapy during pregnancy is often delayed, while preterm delivery is common. If in utero exposure to chemotherapy is associated with adverse pediatric outcomes, it is unknown whether that relationship is directly attributable to the chemotherapy or is mediated by preterm birth.
Methods: Cases were identified from Canadian cancer registries and administrative data in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, 2003-2017, with follow-up until 2018.
Exercise plays many important roles across the entire cancer continuum that have been described in previous frameworks. These frameworks, however, have generally provided a simplified description of the roles of exercise postdiagnosis. The modern cancer treatment landscape has become complex and often consists of multiple lines of multimodal treatments combined concurrently and/or sequentially and delivered over many months or years.

Methods: This study used 24-h accelerometry time series from UK Biobank participants aged 42 to 79 years to derive circadian physical activity patterns using functional principal component analysis. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine associations with colorectal cancer risk.
Article Synopsis
- The American Cancer Society suggests that doctors should talk to women about endometrial cancer risks when they reach menopause, but more younger women under 50 are being diagnosed.
- A study looked at nearly 14,000 women with endometrial cancer and found that factors like body weight and diabetes increase the risk for both younger and older women.
- Educating women about these risk factors could help reduce the number of cases, as many endometrial cancer cases in both age groups are linked to these factors.
