First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study surveyed 606 Greek cancer specialists and residents to understand what they know and think about physical activity for cancer patients. Using a validated questionnaire, researchers measured doctors' knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors regarding exercise counseling. The goal is to identify barriers and facilitators so that future training can help oncologists better support their patients' fitness needs.
