New Study Finds Gap Between Patient, Provider Perceptions About Exercise In Cancer Care

Noted: This is a common feeling among oncologists, said Dr. Lisa Cadmus-Bertram from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Most of them would like their patients to be more active, however they are not physical activity coaches,” said Cadmus-Bertram, who studies the role of physical activity in cancer incidence and survivorship. “They don’t have the training or the expertise to provide that type of support to patients nor do they have the time.”
