ONCOLOGY, CANCER, DISEASE, RECURRENCE
Two hundred and forty cancer patients at the Department of Oncology of a Level-A tertiary hospital in Shanghai were selected by convenience sampling as the research subjects from September 2019 to August 2020, and randomized into experimental (EXP) and control (CON). In CON, there were 58 males (48.3%) and 62 females (51.7%), aged 50~87 (67.10±5.76) years old, with the disease duration ranging from 0.5 to 20 years. Seventeen patients (14.2%, 17/120) had disease duration of over 5 years, and 31.7% (38/100) had recurrence. In EXP, there were 57 males (47.5%) and 63 females (52.5%), aged 50~87 (63.68±7.01) years old, with the disease duration ranging from 0.5 to 18 years, and 20 patients (16.7%, 20/120) had the disease duration of over 5 years, and 37.5% (45/100) patients had recurrence. The exercise mode of patients in both groups was mainly walking in public places. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in general information, such as gender, age, disease duration, exercise time and mode between the two groups, that indicates comparability.
