Interactions between physical activity and type of cancer treatment received on associations with psychosocial outcomes among gynecologic cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Physical activity is associated with improved cancer outcomes; however, it is unclear which patients may benefit most from increased physical activity. We evaluated whether associations between meeting the American Cancer Society (ACS) physical activity recommendations and psychosocial outcomes in gynecologic cancer survivors varied by type of treatments received.

Methods

We recruited English-speaking adult gynecologic cancer patients from an academic gynecologic oncology practice to participate in a prospective cohort study. Participants completed a survey at study entry regarding their psychosocial health-including distress, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and quality of life (QoL)-and physical activity. Multivariate linear regression models
