The WALC RCT, to our knowledge, was the largest randomized study of exercise among patients treated for ovarian cancer and was the only study assessing the effect of exercise on CIPN in this population. We rigorously controlled for the potentially beneficial effect of attention from interventionists with an attention control comparison group. The exercise intervention was mapped directly to the American Cancer Society lifestyle recommendations for survivors of cancer,This secondary analysis of the WALC trial also had several limitations. More than 90% of the study sample was composed of non-Hispanic White individuals, and all participants spoke English, limiting the ability to generalize findings to diverse populations.
