“…Due to the distressing and painful symptoms of CIPN, it might substantially affect the patients' quality of life and reduce their function ability temporarily or permanent. In addition, CIPN can lead to reductions in CTx dose or treatment interruptions, which eventually affects the overall survival of the patients [58,59].…”

The use of low-level light therapy in supportive care for patients with breast cancer: review of the literature

et al. 2016

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with an incidence of 1.7 million in 2012. Breast cancer and its treatments can bring along serious side effects such as fatigue, skin toxicity, lymphedema, pain, nausea, etc. These can substantially affect the patients' quality of life. Therefore, supportive care for breast cancer patients is an essential mainstay in the treatment. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) also named photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has proven its efficiency in general medicine for already more than 40 years. It is a noninvasive treatment option used to stimulate wound healing and reduce inflammation, edema, and pain. LLLT is used in different medical settings ranging from dermatology, physiotherapy, and neurology to dentistry. Since the last twenty years, LLLT is becoming a new treatment modality in supportive care for breast cancer. For this review, all existing literature concerning the use of LLLT for breast cancer was used to provide evidence in the following domains: oral mucositis (OM), radiodermatitis (RD), lymphedema, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The findings of this review suggest that LLLT is a promising option for the management of breast cancer treatment-related side effects. However, it still remains important to define appropriate treatment and irradiation parameters for each condition in order to ensure the effectiveness of LLLT.

Nursing Outcomes of Patient's Comfort during Neoplastic Chemotherapy: An Integrative Review C urrently, cancer patients require more aggressive and systemic treatments. However, chemotherapy often causes discomfort which affects patient's well-being during and after cancer treatment. 1 The nursing mission then focuses on patient's comfort and the interventions offered to relieve discomfort. The care is delivered after an assessment of patients' needs, implementations of care, and outcomes from such interventions. These nursing interventions include physical and psycho-spiritual contexts intended to alleviate the patient's discomfort observed from signs and symptoms. There is a great opportunity to address the patient's needs and to understand him/her, which increases the likelihood that patient will be safe during treatment. This is considered a relief effort. 2 Comfort is theoretically defined at this point as the state of being meeting the basic human need for ease, relief, and transcendence. 3 Nurse-led care and management have a significant impact on patient experience and outcomes. However, currently there are no definitive criteria in establishing what constitutes sufficient evidence of this beyond using the outcome. Previous reviews have used an overview of evidence-based intervention studies. 4 Evidence-base-nursing outcomes in the physical dimensions of cancer patients during chemotherapy were reviewed and used to develop a set of indicators that are suitable for performance measurement and to identify the need for quality improvement.

ZusammenfassungTumorpatienten, die zur Entspannungsförderung mit einer Klangschalenbehandlung therapiert worden waren, hatten wiederholt über eine Besserung ihrer Beschwerden durch eine Chemotherapie induzierte periphere Polyneuropathie (CIPN) berichtet. Vor diesem Hintergrund führten wir eine unkontrollierte prospektive Beobachtungsstudie mit Patienten durch, die unter einer CIPN litten. Diese erhielten einmalig eine Klangschalenbehandlung. Sämtliche Patienten beschrieben eine subjektive Besserung ihrer Beschwerden, bei 10 von 20 Patienten für bis zu 3 Tage anhaltend. Diese vielversprechenden Ergebnisse sollten in einem Folgeprojekt, möglichst in Form einer randomisierten kontrollierten Studie mit längerfristiger Therapiephase weiter überprüft werden.
