in oncology…
Exercise must be accepted in oncology

Does PA reduce cancer recurrence and/or improve survival?
Does PA influence cancer treatment decisions, completion rates, and/or response?
What is the optimal PA prescription for cancer survivors?
What is the role of sedentary behaviour in cancer survivorship?
What are the most effective PA behaviour change interventions for cancer
survivors?
Which cancer variables modify the PA response?
What are the safety issues concerning PA in cancer survivors
Which specific cancer symptoms can be managed by PA?
Is there a role for PA in advanced cancer?
10. How to translate PA research into clinical/community practice?

Diagnosis…
Essential Components of Survivorship Care
• Prevention of recurrence and new cancers
and other late effects
• Surveillance for cancer spread, recurrence,
or second cancers; assessment of physical
and psychosocial late effects
• Intervention for consequences of cancer
and its treatment
• Coordination between specialists and
primary care providers to ensure that all of
the survivor’s health needs are met

ELLICSR: The Collaborative Centre for Health
Wellness and Cancer Survivorship
Founded in 2010
Mission:
•
To maximize the QOL, health & wellness of all who
are impacted by cancer
Goals:
•
•
•
•
1
Harness the power of survivor communities
Enable survivors1 to become empowered experts in
the management of their health & wellbeing
Accelerate research & innovation in survivorship
programs & services
Transform care by integrating evidence-based selfmanagement support
A cancer survivor is defined to be anyone who is touched by cancer, including patients, families, friends, and caregivers

Wellness & Exercise for Cancer Survivors (WE-Can)
Initiated in 2014
Our Mandate:
•
•
Support the well-being of cancer
survivors with evidence-based exercise
programming and related-services
Conduct novel research into the effects,
accessibility, and support of exercise
programs for cancer survivors.

Team Composition, Roles & Scope
• Where does WE-Can fit within a multidisciplinary
program?
• How does WE-Can adapt within a medical /
rehabilitative model?
• Who are the appropriate HCPs to work with cancer
patients at various stages of health (disease) and
fitness?
Remember Starting a New Job?
• Learn about environment

• But.. You’re not just a new staff member, you’re a new profession
where colleagues don’t have experience working with you (not as a
person, but as a professional)
Who should deliver
clinical exercise programming?
A healthcare professional that is trained in both
exercise and oncology
CSEP - Certified Exercise Physiologist
Registered Kinesiologist
Other Health Care Professionals?? (MD, PT, OT, RN)
Are Rehabilitation Approaches Similar?
•
Cancer rehab is similar to other types of “classic” rehab
Patient experiences life changing event
New impairment (Spinal cord, Brain injury, etc.)
NEED rehab interventions to improve Function and QoL
•
For cancer survivors:
–
–
–
–
sometimes treatment is ongoing…
There is prognostic uncertainty (progression, secondary cancers, death)
Different cancers and treatments affect different systems (all cancers/treatments are not the same)
High potential for multi-system impairment in any case

Failure to Address Needs
• Poor physical health reported by ¼ of cancer survivors
• Observational study (n=529): 65% of cancer survivors had
modifiable impairments that could be helped with
physiotherapy and occupational therapy
• Only 9% received rehabilitation services within 12
months

Challenges
•
•
•
•
Interprofessional inexperience on both sides
RKin role new to many the ancillary services (e.g. EMR)
Establishing trust
Difference in training
– Clinical training is a byproduct of experience, not often
formally integrated into undergraduate experience
• Disparity/inconsistency in employment status
– compensation – job review
– Full-time vs. casual/temp p/t contracts
Facilitators

Focus on the model of care
Additional exercise-related opportunities
Personal and professional growth
– Interprofessional Education (IPE)
Lessons Learned

3.
4.
Focus on the big picture
The system (& people) can & will evolve
Huge opportunity to do something new
Trust is as important as you think.. And even
more important than that
5. Formalized IPE is (really) needed
Thank you.
