Smart Phone Application in Increasing Physical Activity in Breast Cancer Survivors

April 28, 2025 updated by: Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University

Facilitating Motivational Readiness and Adoption of Physical Activity by Breast Cancer Survivors With a Smart Phone Application

This pilot clinical trial studies how well a smart phone application works in increasing physical activity in breast cancer survivors. A smart phone application that increases physical activity may help reduce the likelihood of cancer coming back in breast cancer survivors.
