(CNN)The rigors and challenges of spaceflight are remarkably similar to the physical stress cancer patients experiment during chemotherapy and other treatments, according to researchers. For that reason, the researchers suggest that the countermeasures program used by astronauts before, during and after spaceflight to maintain their health could be developed and applied for cancer patients to help them recover after treatment. The details were published in a commentary written by researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and NASA on Thursday in the journal Cell. The work was supported by the National Cancer Institute. "It was surprising when we looked at similarities between astronauts during spaceflight and cancer patients during treatment. Both have a decrease in muscle mass, and they have bone demineralization and changes in heart function," said Jessica Scott, senior author and an exercise physiology researcher at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Exercise … [Read more...] about Astronaut exercise programs may help cancer patients, researchers say

This is the most common type of blood cancer; it affects white blood cells, slowly worsening as the years pass.  Hayley, who had been diagnosed six years earlier, picked up the phone. He was, he admits today, “a bit apprehensive. There was a strange man on the end of the line!” But 18 months later, he is sitting next to Price; then a stranger, now a friend. That phone call was the first of many. It’s no wonder that Hayley was apprehensive, because he was about to discuss his condition with a man he had never met. The phone call was part of a trial of Leukaemia Care’s buddy system, giving people with blood cancer the chance to share their experiences and worries with those in a similar situation.
