UNASSIGNED: 121 Background: Supervised exercise for @entity5 survivors can reduce symptoms and improve physical conditioning. This program evaluation reports the benefits of a nurse-supervised exercise program for @entity5 survivor @entity1 both during and after active @entity5 therapy. METHODS: The treating oncologist referred @entity1 to the oncology rehabilitation program, called Moving On, either during or at the completion of active therapy. @entity1 enrolled in a 12-week program of supervised exercise for one hour, three days per week. Baseline and follow up evaluation included a @entity1 reported @entity1295 score, on a scale from 1 to 10 (with higher scores indicating more @entity1295 ), and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), in feet. RESULTS: In calendar 2011, 152 @entity1 enrolled in the program and 91 completed all 12 weeks (completers). @entity1 were 71% female, 86% Caucasian, 14% African American, 68% enrolled on completion of active therapy, and 32% enrolled during active therapy. More than half were older than 60 years. More than half had @entity5 diagnoses other than @entity0 . A consistent decrease in @entity1295 and increase in exercise capacity was seen in subgroup analysis by gender, race, age, status on @entity5 therapy or after completion of therapy, and diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: In this diverse group of @entity5 survivors, a program of 12 weeks of nurse-supervised exercise was feasible, substantially reduced @entity1295 , and increased exercise capacity. It is noteworthy that @entity1 , both on active therapy and after, older and younger, and across diagnosis groups, experienced the benefits of the program. [Table: see text].
