16
Q

What is targeted therapies involve

A

A form of chemotherapy

Targets specific molecular differences between cancer and normal cells

17
Q

Why exercise when you have cancer

A

Overall physical function is generally diminished because of losses of aerobic capacity,, muscle tissue and ROM

18
Q

The exercise response for cancer must include

A

Tumor site

Cancer stage

Grade (severity)

Treatment types

Timing since diagnosis and interactions of all elements with general health, wellbeing and fitness

19
Q

General Pre exercise medical assessments for cancer involves

A

Recommended evaluation for peripheral neuropathies and musculoskeletal morbidities

20
Q

Cancer sit specific pre exercise medical assessment for cancer involves

A

Arm/shoulder morbidity prior to upper body exercise

21
Q

What is the recommendation for exercise testing for cancer if patient is high functioning

A

An exercise test to establish current baseline and determine if treatment affected exercise response is useful

22
Q

What is the recommendation for exercise testing for cancer if patient is low functioning

A

An exercise test might provide a barrier to physical activity

23
Q

Testing should be selected with the individuals ______

A

Goals at the forefront

24
Q

What are considerations for exercise testing methods for patients with cancer who have been medically cleared for exercise

A

Patients with cancer should receive a comprehensive assessment

No assessments are required to start a LIGHT intensity walking, progressive strength training or flexibility program in survivors

Be aware of survivors health history, comorbid chronic health conditions and disease

Look out for any exercise contraindications

25
Q

Physical activity guidelines suggest that cancer survivors

A

Avoid inactivity

Exercise as much as possible

Require modifications to avoid fracture with metastatic bone disease

26
Q

What is there a risk of when cancer survivors exercise aerobically

A

Fracture risk

27
Q

What should we look out for in cancer survivors doing resistance exercise

A

No upper limit on weight

Watch for arm/shoulder symptoms

28
Q

Cancer patients that engage in exercises with special considerations such as yoga and pilates show

A

Arm/shoulder morbidities are taken care of

29
Q

______ is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease where excessive mucus blocks the airway

A

Chronic bronchitis

30
Q

Criterion for diagnosis of COPD is FEV1/FVC ______

A

<0.70

31
Q

One of the typical abnormal exercise responses in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is hyperinflation of the lung

A

True

32
Q

________ has become popular (or general) for assessing functional exercise capacity in individuals with more severe pulmonary disease

A

6-min walk test

33
Q

Antihypertensive medication, such as beta blockers, may increase blood pressure and induce muscle weakness during exercise in patients with chronic restrictive pulmonary disease

A

False

34
Q

Bronchodilators may improve ventilatory response, ventilation-perfusion matching, and exercise capacity during exercise in CRPD patients

A

True

35
Q

Arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO2) should be around 75% during exercise testing in patients with COPD because the normal oxyhemoglobin saturation in the artery is 75%

A

False

36
Q

Patients with COPD tend to have lower residual volume compared to patients with CRPD

A

False

37
Q

Cancer patients in early stage treatment should avoid physical activity

A

False

38
Q

More than half of the causes of cancer is related to individuals’ lifestyle choice

A

True

39
Q

_______ is a type of cancer that is identified from connective tissues, such as bone and cartilage

A

Sarcoma
