Currently, in Australia, 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. A common adjuvant treatment for breast cancer is radiation therapy (RT). The amalgamation of side effects caused by RT treatment can ultimately affect a patient’s quality of life (QoL). With increasing breast cancer survival, a greater focus on the non-lethal consequences of this disease and its treatment is warranted. Exercise and nutrition have proven beneficial in promoting and supporting overall health and managing chronic diseases. Furthermore, exercise has demonstrated improvement and sustainment to QoL. The focus of this scoping literature review was to determine the scale of evidence regarding the effectiveness of exercise and/or nutritional interventions for women with breast cancer receiving radiation therapy. An online search of five databases was conducted to identify studies published between 2000 and 2023. The 58 studies included in the scoping review comprised 46 interventions and 4615 women with breast cancer who received radiation therapy participated. Most studies (90%; n = 52) were ‘exercise only’ based, 3% (n = 2) were ‘nutrition only’, and the remaining 7% (n = 4) of studies were combined exercise and nutrition interventions. The findings from this review highlight most studies are dedicated to investigating exercise. Further research is required to fully understand the potential benefits of these interventions and their synergistic impact on the quality of life of women with breast cancer receiving radiation therapy.

In this study, the effect of the combination of mat and equipment-based Pilates exercise method applied to sedentary female individuals on fatigue and physical self-perception was examined. 70 women between the ages of 18 and 45, defined as sedentary according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, were included in the study. Participants were randomized into combined Pilates exercise (PG=35) and control (CG=35) groups. Pilates exercises were given three days a week, 50 minutes each session, for 10 weeks. No intervention was made to CG. Fatigue Severity Scale and Physical Self Inventory evaluations were repeated for pre- and post-intervention (10th week). The initial data of the participants showed a homogeneous distribution. In the results, in intragroup comparison, a statistically significant improvement in fatigue severity (p=0.001; p

Complications resulting from cancer therapy can significantly influence the health outcomes of breast cancer survivors, particularly regarding their respiratory system. Pilates interventions have been utilized to improve cancer-related complications in clinical settings, but the evidence has not been comprehensively reviewed to prescribe Pilates as an effective rehabilitation option to improve respiratory function in breast cancer survivors. A systematic search strategy was employed to identify relevant literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using specific keywords: Pilates, respiratory function, breast cancer. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the effects of Pilates on respiratory function in breast cancer survivors providing a thorough overview of the specific benefits associated with Pilates within the context of breast cancer. Further, we address the unique challenges faced by breast cancer survivors when performing Pilates, as well as current knowledge gaps and future directions in the field of rehabilitation science. The primary features of Pilates include an emphasis on specialized breathing techniques in conjunction with core stability, strength, flexibility, and precise control over muscle movements and posture that can be relevant to the health of breast cancer survivors. Our findings suggest that Pilates appears as a promising rehabilitation strategy to counteract the adverse effects of cancer therapies on the respiratory system.
