Purpose: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, mostly due to delayed diagnosis. The objective of this study is to examine the treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) outcomes in a cohort of patients diagnosed with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over a period of 12 years in Germany.
Methods: This retrospective study is based on German cancer registry data and included 14,606 stage III NSCLC patients diagnosed during 2007-2018.
Introduction: Physical activity (PA) interventions have been introduced in patients with cancer as they may contribute to better treatment outcomes and quality of life (QoL). However, little is known about the impact of PA on patients with bladder cancer (BC). This scoping review aimed to explore efficacy and feasibility of existing PA interventions in the BC care pathway.

Currently, little is known about the impact of physical activity (PA) on BC outcomes. This scoping review aims to identify what interventions are available, their reported efficacy and feasibility, and a description of potential underlying biological mechanisms for their effects.
