Such an honor to present my research and draw attention to Endometrial cancer survivors #sgo50
10 year follow up of a physical activity intervention demonstrates that endometrial cancer survivor BMI and physical activity minutes remained stable over time, but physical self efficacy drops off. Important work from @SArmbrusterMD! @MDAndersonNews #SGOMtg #SGOHawaii50

Resistance training benefits for cancer survivors! Can’t wait to see the results in our study of #uterinecancer survivors!! Data coming soon @K_BasenEngquist @MDAndersonNews stay tuned!! x.com/foundmyfitness/status/…

Resistance training prevented increases in a biomarker of inflammation (CRP) in breast cancer survivors. A one-unit increase in CRP levels is linked to a 21% increase all-cause mortality and an 18% increase in breast cancer-specific mortality. cebp.aacrjournals.org/conten…

Interesting perspective on #wellness and idea of “moral distress” in physicians. Lots to learn from our nursing and non-physician colleagues! x.com/bmj_latest/status/9800…

Uterine ca mortality still rising, and still disparity in #gyncancer survival by race. We can do better! #endcancer seer.cancer.gov/report_to_na…
66% of cancers are because of bad luck. 29% are due to poor lifestyles. #endcancer #exercise #health directorsblog.nih.gov/2017/0…
