    • Abstract:
      Neuro-oncology patients are underserved in the field of exercise oncology. With growing evidence on the role of exercise for this patient population, there is a need to develop and evaluate accessible and tailored exercise interventions within standard supportive neuro-oncology care. The purpose of this PhD thesis was thus to develop, deliver, and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of tailored 12-week exercise intervention for neuro-oncology patients across Alberta, Canada – the Alberta Cancer Exercise-Neuro-Oncology (i.e., ACE-Neuro) study. A type II effectiveness-implementation study design was used along with a mixed-methods and patient-oriented research approach. A series of five studies were conducted, including (1) building the protocol, (2) evaluating feasibility, (3) evaluating effectiveness, (4) gathering patient and caregiver perspectives of participation, and (5) gathering clinical team member perspectives of referring to and delivering ACE-Neuro. Adult neuro-oncology patients either ...
