ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how oncologists in Greece understand and view the role of physical activity and exercise for cancer patients. The study aims to gather insights from both experienced oncologists and medical residents about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to recommending exercise to patients with cancer. It will also explore any challenges they face in doing so, as well as what supports them in giving this advice. To collect this information, participants will fill out an anonymous online questionnaire that includes various questions about their experiences and beliefs regarding exercise for cancer patients.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be specialists or medical residents in Pathological Oncology based in Greece. Unfortunately, oncologists who work abroad or those who specialize in other areas of medicine cannot take part in this trial. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who qualify can expect to answer questions that will help improve the understanding of how exercise can benefit cancer patients and how healthcare providers can better support them.
