A randomized trial of physical activity for cognitive functioning in breast cancer survivors: Rationale and study design of I Can! Improving Cognition After Cancer.

Introduction: Difficulties with cognition are extremely common among breast cancer survivors and can significantly impact quality of life, daily functioning, and ability to return to work. One promising intervention is increasing physical activity, as it has been effective in improving cognition in non-cancer populations. Few physical activity intervention trials with cognition outcomes have included cancer survivors.

Accuracy of a Novel Handheld Wireless Platform for Detection of Cardiac Dysfunction in Anthracycline-Exposed Survivors of Childhood Cancer.

Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction, often developing at a time when they are least engaged in long-term survivorship care. New paradigms in survivorship care and chronic disease screening are needed in this population. We compared the accuracy of a novel handheld mHealth platform (Vivio) as well as echocardiography for assessment of cardiac function [left ventricular ejection fraction (EF)] in childhood cancer survivors with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (reference).

Metastatic genitourinary cancer diagnosed by body fluid cytology: clinicopathologic and cytomorphologic correlation.

Introduction: Malignant effusions secondary to genitourinary cancers constitute less than 5% of metastatic malignancies. Because of their rarity, definitive cytodiagnosis may be challenging. Our study aims to examine the incidence of malignant fluids secondary to genitourinary cancers in our institution, and to characterize their clinicopathologic and cytomorphologic features.
