OBJECTIVES: The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has vastly improved outcomes for patients with advanced melanoma. However, the symptom burden and intensity with their impact on quality-of-life (HRQoL) and functionality are heterogeneous and unpredictable. We used descriptive exploratory content analysis from interviews to capture the patient experience after they had completed quantitative data collection of their symptom burden and interference with the use of two patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments...

OBJECTIVES: Exercise has been recommended to enhance sleep. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating the relationships between exercise and sleep problems in patients with bladder cancer. The authors explored the effects of a single bout of light-intensity walking on the sleep quality of patients with bladder cancer who have sleep disorders. DATA SOURCES: A total of 14 patients with bladder cancer with sleep disorders were recruited for this trial. The participants were randomly assigned to the walking or control condition in a cross-over design to explore the effects of a single light-intensity walking session on objectively measured sleep quality...
