First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a fitness tracker (like a Fitbit) can give doctors a better picture of how advanced cancer patients are functioning day-to-day. About 590 people with various cancers will wear activity monitors. The goal is to see if the activity data matches up with the doctor's usual assessment and can predict survival. This is a research study to gather information, not a treatment.
