Promotion of Behavioral Change and the Impact on Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Advanced Cancer: A Physical Activity Intervention of the Multimodal Nutrition and Exercise Treatment for Advanced Cancer Program

Abstract

The PA intervention of the NEXTAC program was feasible as the elderly patients with advanced cancer in this study were highly compliant. The majority of patients demonstrated behavioral changes that were associated with the improvement in global QOL. We conduct a randomized phase II study to measure the impact of the NEXTAC program on QOL and functional prognosis.
