Physical Activity Promotion for Breast and Endometrial Cancer Survivors
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Physical Activity, Breast Cancer Survivors, Endometrial Cancer Survivors
In brief
Many breast and endometrial cancer survivors do not get enough physical activity. Technology-based interventions can be inexpensive and easy to scale up, however they are not effective for all women. The purpose of this study is test an adaptive physical activity intervention approach that reserves the most resources and support for women who do not fare well with a lower-cost, minimal intervention. The results from this trial will inform the development of scalable physical activity interventions for breast and endometrial cancer survivors.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Female adult (≥18 years of age)
- Diagnosis of Stage I-III breast or Stage I-II Type 1 endometrial cancer within the past 5 years.
- At least 3 months past completion of primary active treatment (i.e., surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation). May still be undergoing endocrine or Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) therapies.
- Insufficiently active, defined as ≤60 min/week of MVPA, performed in bouts of ≥10 minutes.This is 40% of the recommended amount of MVPA based on the 2008 Federal Guidelines and the American Cancer Society's guidelines for cancer survivors. The 7-Day Recall will be used to screen for physical activity; eligibility will be confirmed prior to randomization using the ActiGraph accelerometer.
- Able to access high-speed Internet daily at home on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Internet access may be through a household connection or a wireless provider (e.g., Verizon, AT\&T). For compatibility with the Fitbit, the device must run a Windows, Apple, or Android operating system.
- Have a MyChart account or be willing to create one.
- Fluent in spoken and written English language.
- For safety, participants will be screened using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and the Falls Risk Screener, which address joint and cardiovascular problems, balance issues, and other concerns. Physician consent will be obtained for all participants who meet the following criteria:
- Answer yes to ≥1 question on the PAR-Q OR
- Answer yes to ≥4 questions on the Falls Risk Screener
- Willing and able to attend study visits at the University of Wisconsin, Madison or Northwestern University, Chicago
- Own and can use a smartphone
You may not qualify if…
- Any absolute contraindications to exercise (i.e. acute myocardial infarction, severe orthopedic conditions), metastatic disease or planned elective surgery during intervention/ follow-up.
- Self-reported difficulty transitioning walking 1 block (as a proxy measure of basic physical functioning), or inability to work towards the intervention goals
- Plans to become pregnant or to move from the area within the next two years
- Current enrollment in another dietary or physical activity trial
