SMARTphone-Based Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in BREAST Cancer Patients [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2022 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Heart disease is a leading cause of death in patients with breast cancer. Physical exercise during cancer treatment has been shown to improve overall survival by reducing future problems with the heart as well as recurrence of the cancer. Despite this, few women achieve the guideline recommended target for exercise. This study will test a Smartphone application called 'BreastMate' which is designed to promote physical activity and heart health in patients with breast cancer.
