The McGill Cancer Nutrition and Rehabilitation Program
Bibliographic record
Abstract
9623 Background: Cancer rehabilitation is a process that assists the individual with cancer to obtain optimal physical, social, psychological, and vocational functioning within the limits created by the disease and treatment. The McGill Cancer Nutrition and Rehabilitation (CNR) program developed as a result of the ever-increasing demand to address the individual cancer patients and their needs, as well as on achieving optimal tumour-related outcomes. Methods: To assess the effect of an interdisciplinary 8-week rehabilitation program on the functional outcomes of patients with advanced cancer. Sixty-five patients were assessed prior to and following an 8-week interdisciplinary cancer rehabilitation program consisting of medical, nursing, physiotherapy and nutritional interventions. All patients were evaluated with the Edmonton Symptom assessment Score (ESAS), Distress thermometer (DT), Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), Simmonds Functional Assessment Tool and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). A paired t-test comparing patient’ pre and posttest scores was used. Results: Thirty three male and 32 female participants were enrolled. Their median age was 57 years (25 to 80). Their cancer diagnoses were: gastro-esophageal (20%), hepatobiliary (19%), breast (17%), hematological (12%), lung, ENT and sarcoma (9% each), colorectal (3%) and CNS lymphoma (2%) There was a significant improvement after an 8-week cancer rehabilitation program in strength (p=. 02), appetite (p< 0.001), nausea (p< =0.02), nervousness (p< 0.001) sleepiness (p=0.01), shortness of breath (p=0.02), depression (p< 0.001), DT (p< 0.001), total PG-SGA score (p< 0.001) and 6MWT (p=0.001). Conclusions: Preliminary findings suggest that participation in a cancer rehabilitation program ameliorates symptoms and global distress resulting in an increase in physical activities. We can conclude that participation in the Cancer Rehabilitation Program is beneficial. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
