“Our hybrid model aims to overcome common barriers to exercise during cancer treatment, such as transportation challenges, fatigue from treatment and scheduling conflicts,” said Alliance study co-chair Kathryn Schmitz, PhD, MPH, Interim Director of the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and Founding Director of the UPMC Moving Through Cancer (Exercise Oncology) Program. “By offering a home-based approach, we hope to make physical activity more accessible and sustainable for a representative population of cancer patients.”
