Research

Dr. Kristin Campbell is a physical therapist and cancer scientist.

Her research interests are focused on the role of physical activity across the cancer experience, namely in prevention, rehabilitation from cancer treatments and cancer survivorship.   She has investigated the role of physical activity in cancer prevention by examining the effect of exercise on proposed biomarkers of breast and colon cancer risk, such as sex hormones, inflammatory markers and tissue protein expression.  In terms of rehabilitation from cancer treatment and cancer survivors, her research has focused on examining the benefits of physical activity on physical function, quality of life, fatigue and lymphedema, and is interested in starting to examine the emerging evidence for the role of physical activity in lowering risk of cancer recurrence.  Her research spans a range from small scale intervention studies to multi-center randomized controlled trials and large cohort studies.
