How will I know if this is helpful?

Short-Term Measures

Over the short term, effectiveness of the interventions will be measured through favorable changes in:

• Symptoms — How you feel day-to-day
• Quality of life — Energy, mood, sleep quality
• Functional testing — Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
• Body composition — DEXA scan measurements
• Laboratory values — Metabolic markers, inflammatory markers, hormone levels

These objective measurements allow us to track your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

Long-Term Measures

In the long term, success will be determined by cancer outcomes such as:

• Recurrence rates
• Survival

Our Commitment to Measurement

Although we will not be able to determine definitively that our programs changed the outcome in a specific patient, we plan a patient registry to measure the long-term outcomes for our patients compared to historical controls.

This commitment to measurement and continuous improvement is a core part of our approach.
