Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Toxic effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can cause treatment interruptions and hospitalizations, reducing treatment efficacy and increasing health care costs. Physical activity monitoring may enable early identification of patients at high risk for hospitalization who may benefit from proactive intervention.
