[PMID: 39218125 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2024.08.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT Pain is one of the most common symptoms of cancer patients, affecting the patient's physical, psychological, behavioral, social relations and other aspects. Previous studies have demonstrated that exercise is effective for cancer pain, and the optimal exercise is still unknown. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the effects of different exercise interventions on cancer pain in adults. METHODS Randomized control trials identified from medical literature databases that reported effects of exercise in adults with cancer pain were included in this study. Literature screening and data extraction were conducted independently by 2 researchers. Cochrane Bias Assessment 2.0 was used to assess the quality of the literature, and Stata 15.0 software was used for Network meta-analysis. RESULTS Forty-one studies were included, involving 3537 patients with cancer pain. The types of exercise involved included aerobic exercise, medium intensity continuous training, high-intensity interval training, resistance exercise, mind-body exercise and comprehensive exercise program (CEP). The results suggested that CEP was more effective than the usual care in relieving pain intensity in cancer patients [SMD = -1.96,95% CI (-3.47, -0.44)] (SUCRA = 97.9%). Mind-body exercise outperformed usual care in reducing pain interference in cancer patients [SMD = -0.65, 95% CI (-1.21, -0.09)] (SUCRA = 83.8%). CONCLUSION Current evidence shows that CEP is the best way to relieve the pain intensity of cancer patients, and mind-body exercise is the best way to reduce pain interference of cancer patients. Due to the limited number and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions need to be further verified by more high-quality studies.

Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2207. [PMID: 38927913 PMCID: PMC11201945 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16122207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effects of a team rowing-based training program on physical fitness and anthropometric parameters in female breast cancer survivors (n = 40; 56.78 ± 6.38 years). The participants were divided into two groups: one rowed in fixed-seat rowing (FSR) boats (n = 20; 56.35 ± 4.89 years), and the other rowed in sliding-seat rowing (SSR) boats (n = 20; 57.20 ± 7.7 years). Both groups engaged in two 75 min sessions per week for 24 weeks. Significant improvements were observed in both groups in terms of weight (FSR: -1.93 kg, SSR: -1.75 kg), body mass index (FSR: -0.73 kg/m2, SSR: -0.67 kg/m2), waist circumference (FSR: -2.83 cm, SSR: -3.66 cm), and hip circumference (FSR: -2.02 cm, SSR: -2.88 cm). Muscle strength improved in the lower extremities (jump test: FSR: 2.99 cm, SSR: 3.11 cm) and upper extremities (dominant: FSR: 4.13 kgf, SSR: 4.34 kgf; non-dominant: FSR: 3.67 kgf, SSR: 3.32 kgf). Aerobic capacity also improved, with the SSR group showing a greater increase (FSR: 63.05 m, SSR: 93.65 m). Flexibility tests revealed better results in the SSR group for both dominant (SSR: 1.75 cm vs. FSR: -5.55 cm) and non-dominant limbs (SSR: 1.72 cm vs. FSR: -3.81 cm). These findings suggest that the type of rowing modality can influence physical fitness outcomes, with the SSR group showing superior improvements compared to the FSR group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer survivors (BCS) experience many issues of rehabilitative concern due to the treatments they have undergone. Given the chronicity of these outcomes, the increasing number of survivors, and the positive results obtained by supervised exercise, professionals should consider offering self-managed physical activity (PA) programs to this population. Our aim was to map the currently available evidence about self-care rehabilitation for BCS. METHODS Medline, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were searched for primary literature. Scoping review methodological frameworks were used to tackle the heterogeneity of the topic. Studies investigating self-managed PA interventions prescribed to adult BCS were included. RESULTS One hundred-eight studies were included, with sample sizes ranging from 6 to 692 patients. Information was systematically collected in tables displaying study design, type of PA, duration and recommended frequency, professional leading the study, type of supervision, initial training, strategies used to help patients integrate self-care into their daily lives, and self-managed PA efficacy. Tables were produced for every oncological side effect that BCS might experience: lymphedema, arthralgia, cancer-related fatigue, a decline in physical parameters, treatment-related cardiotoxicity, peripheral neurotoxicity, and a possible decline in the quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Self-managed PA has the potential to improve BCS oncological issues. Professionals can adopt many strategies to support patients and empower them with long-lasting self-care competencies. This scoping review provided a comprehensive and easy-to-consult overview of self-managed PA interventions for BCS. We also provided recommendations for future primary studies and secondary synthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a disabling chronic condition that cancer survivors could experience during and after recovery and that might benefit from self-managed physical activity (PA) programs. This scoping review aimed to map self-managed PA interventions found in literature for the management of CRF. METHODS Given the heterogeneity of the topic, scoping review methodological frameworks were used. Pubmed, Cinahl and Cochrane databases were searched for primary literature. Inclusion criteria: self-managed PA meant as any exercise program prescribed by a professional either with or without initial supervision and training which then continued independently for a given time frame; patient-reported fatigue assessment included in the outcome measures. Articles dealing with entirely supervised interventions, dietary or psychological-only therapies, and with palliative care were excluded. RESULTS Of the 543 experimental or observational studies screened, 63 were included. Of these forty-three studies were randomized controlled trials. Data were summarized in tables describing self-managed interventions according to: type of self-managed activity, frequency and duration, strategies to promote adherence, professionals supervising the treatment, outcome measures, and efficacy. A narrative synthesis was also added to further explain findings. CONCLUSIONS We collected the available evidence on PA when this was self-managed by patients after prescription by a healthcare provider. Clinicians and researchers should consider incorporating self-care programs in CRF patients' recovery journey gradually, identifying the best strategies to integrate them into daily life. Researchers should specify the characteristics of PA programs when designing new studies. This review highlighted the areas to be investigated for future studies pertaining to self-managed PA.

Abstract
Global cancer statistics suggest that breast cancer (BC) is the most diagnosed cancer in women, with an estimated 2. 3 million new cases reported in 2020. Observational evidence shows a clear link between prevention and development of invasive BC and lifestyle-based interventions such as a healthy diet and physical activity. The recent findings reveal that even minimal amounts of daily exercise and a healthy diet reduced the risk of BC, mitigated the side effects of cancer treatment, and stopped the recurrence of cancer in the survivors. Despite the myriad benefits, the implementation of these lifestyle interventions in at-risk and survivor populations has been limited to date. Given the need to disseminate information about the role of physical activity and nutrition in BC reduction, the review aimed to present the recent scientific outreach and update on associations between the lifestyle interventions and BC outcomes to narrow the gap and strengthen the understanding more clearly. This review covers more direct, detailed, and updated scientific literature to respond to frequently asked questions related to the daily lifestyle-based interventions and their impact on BC risk and survivors. This review also highlights the importance of the oncology provider's job and how oncology education can reduce the BC burden.

Do Breast Cancer Patients Manage to Participate in an Outdoor, Tailored, Physical Activity Program during Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment, Independent of Health and Socio-Demographic Characteristics? J Clin Med 2022; 11:843. [PMID: 35160292 PMCID: PMC8836448 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Exercise could reduce the side-effects of adjuvant breast cancer treatment; however, socio-demographic, health, and intervention conditions may affect patients' adherence to interventions. This study aimed to examine adherence to a 12-month outdoor post-surgery exercise program among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment, and to identify socio-demographic and health-related predictors. In total, 47 women with invasive breast cancer stage I-II or ductal/lobular carcinoma grade 3 were included pre-surgery and randomized two weeks post-surgery to exercise (2 × 60 min/week). Patient characteristics (body-mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status, comorbidity, physical activity, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)) were recorded pre-surgery. Correlations between adherence and patient characteristics and statistics for between-group differences were performed. The mean age was 54.2 years, mean BMI 27.8 kg/m2, and 54.2% received chemotherapy. Completers had a mean adherence of 81%, independent of season. Withdrawals (23%) occurred after a mean of 6.5 weeks (0-24 weeks), they were suggestively older, had lower socioeconomic status and pre-surgery VO2max, and higher BMI. Household income was significantly lower among withdrawals. There were insignificant correlations between adherence and health conditions. High adherence is achievable in a Nordic outdoor physical exercise program in breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment, including chemotherapy. Additional studies are needed to clarify follow-up needs in some groups.
