We investigated the effects of a 12-week resistance training (RT) vs high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on myokines, cytokines secreted by skeletal muscle cells at rest in response to muscle contraction, and cancer cell inhibition.
Methods: Twenty-eight survivors of breast cancer (age 55.
Background: There is a dearth of comprehensive research on the financial burden of cancer in low-resource settings. This study aims to identify factors associated with annual cost of cancer care and catastrophic health expenditure as well as estimate the impoverishment linked with cancer treatment in Nepal.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary public cancer hospitals of Nepal.
