We are conducting a randomized controlled trial designed to learn how being physically active can help the physical and emotional well-being of people with breast or prostate cancer and their partners as they go through radiation treatment together. Couples who participate will be randomly assigned to either participate in an online exercise class with their spouse/partner 3 times a week for 8 weeks beginning at the start of radiation, or they will be provided with information and resources about how to stay physically active during and after radiation treatment. All couples will complete health surveys and online assessments 4 times over 6 months, plus provide a finger-poke blood sample 2 times. Learn more about the EMBRACE study.

Our research has shown that hormone therapy (sometimes called ADT) for prostate cancer may impact a man’s physical and mental well-being. The iLIVE study will combine an online diet and exercise program for this population and could help men feel better and improve their quality of life. Your participation could help us learn how effective this program is at reducing weight and increasing physical functional in men with prostate cancer.

Pacific Aging and Cancer Study

The Pacific Aging and Cancer Study (PACS) uses everyday technology in the home to measure changes in physical and cognitive function in older adults as they go through cancer treatment. Because cancer and cancer treatment also affect family members and caregivers, we are also enrolling co-residing care partners in this study. Learn more about the PACS study.
