Cancer is expected to affect approximately one in three people currently under the age of 75 in developed countries. According to Global Burden of Disease Study, the incidence of cancer increased by 33% between 2005 and 2015 [1], and the number of people with cancer around the world is expected to increase by approximately 75% until 2030, due to changes in demographics and lifestyle, among other factors [2]. Meanwhile, survival rates for several cancers are increasing as progress is made with therapeutic strategies, leading to an increasing number of cancer survivors (people living with the disease long-term). Cancer survivors face disabilities to daily living due to intensive therapy and side effects, as well as disease progression. These disabilities can lead to decreased physical activity (PA) of patients, and this adversely affects the quality of life (QoL) for both patients and their caregivers. In the field of cancer therapy, enhancing or maintaining the PA of survivors is a necessary aim, along with considerations of how to improve QoL.
