      Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced mortality among cancer survivors, but no study has focused on testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We aimed to investigate the association of PA measured twice during survivorship with overall mortality in TCSs. TCSs treated during 1980 to 1994 participated in a nationwide longitudinal survey between 1998 to 2002 (S1: n = 1392) and 2007 to 2009 ...

      Introduction - The prevalence of distress, problems and need for rehabilitation among women treated for gynecological cancer is largely unknown. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of distress, problems and unmet rehabilitation needs in the first years after treatment for gynecological cancer.<p> <p>Material and methods - Women treated for gynecological cancer within the last 2 ...

      <i>Purpose</i> - To investigate lifestyle in a population-based sample of long-term (≥ 5 years since diagnosis) young adult cancer survivors (YACSs), and explore factors associated with not meeting the lifestyle guidelines for physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and smoking. <p> <p><i>Methods</i> - YACSs (<i>n</i> = 3558) diagnosed with breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), ...

      Thorsen, Lene; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Brydøy, Marianne; Tandstad, Torgrim; Wisløff, Torbjørn; Gjerset, Gunhild Maria; Edvardsen, Elisabeth; Larsen, Karl-Otto; Sandset, Per Morten; Henriksson, Carola; Raastad, Truls; Negaard, Helene Francisca Stigter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-11)
      The randomized “Testicular cancer and Aerobic and Strength Training trial” (TAST‐trial) aimed to evaluate the effect of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness during cisplatin‐based chemotherapy (CBCT) for testicular cancer (TC). Here, we report on an unexpected high number of thromboembolic (TE) events among patients randomized to the intervention arm, and on a review ...
