Scientific summary

My research focuses on physical activity and nutrition in cancer patients. I'm particularly interested in methodological aspects.

I am involved in both interventional and epidemiological research projects.

My current topics include:

- the implementation of innovative physical activity devices in cancer patients,

- their impact on various aspects, especially quality of life and survival.

- the impact of changes in body composition during cancer treatment

I'm also working on primary prevention integrated with breast and colorectal cancer screening.
