Summer Pathways Issue Available Now

Print issues on the way; read the digital edition online today.

In this issue, the CLF partners with Melanoma Canada to learn more about skin cancer and lymphedema, featuring a clinical roundtable discussion with the team at the McGill University Health Centre Lymphedema Program.

Check out the guest article by Liz Dylke to take a closer look at how new, evidence-based research gets translated into everyday practice and how the emergence of "Implementation Science" alongside traditional, clinical research may ultimately impact patient care.

Gain insights into finding the right fit for all things compression in the article featuring experienced garment fitters Yasmin Ejbick and Alla Hardoon.

You will be inspired by the personal story shared by Darek Mikita, where he reflects on his experience and shares his perspective on how to live with lymphedema successfully.

As always, you will also find Hints & Tips, Event Listings, and our regular, "Did you know?" research roundup.

Exercise for Cancer to Enhance Living Well (EXCEL) is a 5-year Canada-wide project, funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), and the Alberta Cancer Foundation (ACF). This project will increase the accessibility of exercise programs for rural and remote cancer survivors, empowering them to move more and thus achieve the many benefits that being physically active provides.

This is a five-year Canada-wide project, offering:

FREE, 12-week exercise classes designed specifically for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment
Online classes available
Exercise classes will run twice a week in a circuit-style, focusing on cardiovascular, resistance training, balance, and stretching exercises
Class instructors also provide education to support your commitment to being more physically active

For more information on how to register as a participant for the EXCEL study, email excelnorth@ualberta.ca or call the Cancer Rehabilitation Clinic at 780-492-6007, and check out their website!
