Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of different recruitment strategies used to recruit patients into the Sheffield Exercise and Breast Cancer Trial (SHERBERT), which involved exercise as a therapy, in sedentary women treated for breast cancer. We also evaluated whether the routes of recruitment distinguished patients participating in the trial in terms of socio-economic characteristics, lifestyle behaviours, cancer treatment(s), treatment side effects, length of treatment and time since treatment was completed.
