Summary

Despite evidence regarding the benefits of physical activity in various cancer patient populations, the effects of a home-based walking program for pancreatic cancer patients have been under-explored. The aims of the proposed pilot project are to: (1) Assess the feasibility of implementing a 12-week, home-based walking program among pancreatic cancer patients; and (2) Examine the effects of a 12-week, home-based walking program on quality of life (QOL) and symptoms among pancreatic cancer patients.
