The exercise intervention is adjusted according to the treatment and health status of the patient. The cancer exercise specialist monitors the patient carefully before each exercise session and adjusts the workout accordingly. Cancer patients progress; but the progression may not be linear, and these patients may take longer to reach their goals than a healthy individual. This is not true of all cancer patients, however, so exercise programs must be individualized. Remember that an assessment should be completed initially and then reassessment should be performed following cancer therapies to help establish the next exercise intervention program
