Study summary
Physical activity is an important aspect of cancer therapy but correct measurement of physical activity is difficult. In this study, the physical activity of patients undergoing cancer therapy is assessed by questionnaire and by motion tracker. The results are then compared to answer whether there are differences between the two measurements. Findings of this study will help to improve the assessment of physical activity in cancer patients.
