eHealth and behavioral weight loss interventions for female cancer survivors: A review.

Cancer survivors are at increased risk of chronic disease and diminished quality of life. The presence of overweight and obesity can exacerbate these health risks. Fortunately, even small weight losses have been found to produce clinically meaningful health outcomes. However, effective obesity treatment is difficult to access, and recently, efforts have been made to disseminate interventions using eHealth or distantly delivered technology. This review aims to focus on the efficacy and limitations of these technologies for female cancer survivors. Suggestions are also provided to encourage further meaningful work in this area.
