One reason for this is the lack of economic evidence supporting the benefit of exercise. Economic evaluations often rely on the use of generic utility measures to assess cost effectiveness. This review identifies and synthesizes the literature on the use of generic utility measures used to evaluate exercise interventions for adults with cancer. A systematic search of the literature from January 2000 to February 2023 was conducted using four databases (Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Academic Search Complete). Exercise studies involving adults with any type of cancer that used a generic utility measure were eligible for inclusion. Of the 2780 citations retrieved, 10 articles were included in this review. Seven articles included economic evaluations, with varying results. Four studies reported on cost-effectiveness; however, detailed effectiveness data derived from the generic utility measure were often not reported. Generic utility measures help to compare baseline values of and changes in health utility weights across studies and to general population norms; however, to date, they are underutilized in exercise oncology studies. Consideration should be given to the identified research evidence, population, and methodological gaps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/curroncol30100642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T08:24:44Z","timestamp":1695889484000},"page":"8888-8901","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Generic Health Utility Measures in Exercise Oncology: A Scoping Review and Future Directions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Joanna F.","family":"Parkinson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4582-4233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula A.","family":"Ospina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeff","family":"Round","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 1C9, Canada"},{"name":"Institute of Health Economics, Edmonton, AB T5J 3N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4376-4847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margaret L.","family":"McNeely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Oncology, Cancer Care Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 1Z2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3952-3234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.
