‘You’ve Given Me My Voice’-Enhancing Engagement in Exercise Oncology Research: A Patient and Public Involvement Approach to Co‑Designing a Pre‑Radiotherapy Exercise Programme With People Living With Lung Cancer.
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests exercise may improve radiotherapy efficacy by reducing treatment resistance caused by tumour hypoxia. However, recruitment to exercise oncology studies is low (median 38%), particularly for people with lung cancer. One strategy to address such engagement barriers is by collaborating through Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE). OBJECTIVE: To co-design an acceptable pre‑radiotherapy exercise programme for …
