"That's critical because radiation therapy is effective with well-oxygenated tumors. If they are hypoxic tumors, they're not radiosensitive." (said at 0:46:40)
No published record matching the claim that hypoxic tumors are less radiosensitive than well-oxygenated tumors was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"And when we ask during treatments in some of our studies, no more than 5 to 10% of patients were meeting the exercise guidelines during treatments. Bumps up to 30 to 40% after treatments." (said at 1:29:15)
No published record matching the specific survey figures stating that only 5% to 10% of cancer patients meet physical activity guidelines during treatment and 30% to 40% meet them post-treatment was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"there's a few preclinical animal models showing that exercise makes some tumors grow more quickly... It's about 10% of the studies. So the majority show exercise slows the growth and spread; about 10% are showing this um tumors is growing more quickly." (said at 1:37:52)
No published record matching the claim that exercise accelerates tumor growth in approximately 10% of preclinical animal studies was located; this does not prove the claim false. While systematic reviews of in vivo preclinical exercise oncology document that physical exercise generally slows tumor growth in a majority of animal models with occasional neutral or tumor-promoting effects reported depending on experimental parameters, the specific statistic of 10% across preclinical studies was not confirmed in published literature.
"And in a couple studies, it's shown it's made fatigue worse." (said at 1:18:45)
No published record matching the claim that exercise interventions exacerbated fatigue in cancer patients was located; this does not prove the claim false.
