Cost-effectiveness of physical activity interventions in cancer survivors of developed countries: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Physical activity has been shown to improve survival and quality of life of cancer patients. Due to differences in patient populations, healthcare settings, and types of intervention, cost-effectiveness analyses of physical activity interventions in cancer survivors are difficult to compare. Available evidence from breast cancer survivor research has shown inconsistent results, and transfer of results to other types of cancer is not straightforward. This paper systematically reviewed current evidence on the cost-effectiveness of physical activity interventions in cancer survivors independent of cancer type compared to usual care or another experimental intervention.

Methods

The literature search was conducted in seven databases and enhanced by a search for gray liter
