Feasibility evaluation of a virtual lifestyle intervention for early-stage breast cancer survivors undergoing chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Weight gain and physical inactivity during chemotherapy for patients with early-stage breast cancer are common. We sought to investigate the feasibility of a virtual lifestyle (exercise and diet) intervention for breast cancer survivors during chemotherapy.
