Exercise: Benefits and Implementation in Long-Term Childhood Cancer Survivors

Posted on March 6, 2014 by admin

Presentation Description:
Emphasis on cancer survivorship is increasing yearly both for adults and children diagnosed with cancer. The incorporation of exercise as a standard component of cancer therapy has not yet been established. However a growing amount of research is directed at investigating the effects of exercise on cancer survivors. This presentation summarized recent evidence supporting incorporation of exercise following cancer diagnosis, reviewed exercise safety considerations and highlighted the CanWell Exercise and Education program for cancer survivors.

An Overview of Exercise Based Neuro-Rehabilitation in Brain Tumor Survivors

Posted on February 7, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: Brain tumors are the leading cause of death and disability from childhood disease in developed countries.  With treatment advances over the last 25 years, survival rates have improved dramatically.  However, survival is often achieved at considerable cost.  Cranial radiation is frequently required for effective tumor control, and associated with significant neuro-toxicity, including white matter damage and cognitive morbidity.  In order to achieve the best possible outcome for survivors and ultimately conquer the long-term consequences of this disease, new interventions must be developed to ameliorate the neuro-toxic effects experienced by children. This presentation provided an overview of an ongoing study of an exercise based neuro-rehabilitation program and preliminary findings were discussed.
