Summary
This study tested whether tracking daily steps with a pedometer could help doctors identify cancer patients at risk of being hospitalized during chemoradiotherapy. 40 adults with head and neck, lung, esophagus, or stomach cancer wore a pedometer. If their step count dropped, a team of doctors and nurses stepped in with extra support to try to prevent a hospital stay.
