“…Personal training sessions that lasted a maximum of thirty weeks, with each session involving three individual exercises conducted under the guidance of a certified oncology fitness trainer, led to noteworthy enhancements in terms of endurance and strength but showed no statistically significant improvements in physical functioning or quality of life, as reported by Wang et al in 2021 [ 16 ].…”

Background: Cancer rehabilitation represents a series of measures adopted for the recovery of psychological, emotional, social, and financial functioning in the case of cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to identify the main elements of therapeutic management in the field of medical rehabilitation, as well as integrative, complementary medicine and holistic approaches that can be performed on the oncological patient. Methods: This systematic literature review follows the methodology outlined in the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis” (“PRISMA”) statement, which is an internationally recognized and widely accepted standard. Results: Active rehabilitative therapies offer therapeutic options for improving the functioning and quality of life of oncological patients; these therapies comprehensively address both the physical and psychological aspects of the disease. This review also includes the latest novelties and nanotechnologies applied in oncological rehabilitation, for example, drugs (or supplements) inspired by nature. Conclusions: Physical and rehabilitation medicine, mostly using stimulating therapeutic methods, was recently added to the list of contraindications in the management of oncological patients, both as an approach to the pathological concept itself and as an approach to the main clinical consequences and functional aspects of oncological therapies. Integrative, complementary medicine presents an important therapeutic resource in the case of oncological patients. Advanced studies are needed in the future to further ascertain the role of these therapies.

“…Addressing the patient’s emotional needs, such as anxiety, depression, or fear, can contribute to increased compliance. Counseling and emotional support can help the patient better cope with challenges and remain motivated during the rehabilitation process [ 15 , 16 , 20 , 41 , 64 ].…”

“…Although small and mostly confirmatory of previous findings, these reports support the notion that individualized programs can improve adherence to behavioral interventions by promoting patient engagement and enhancing self-efficacy. The proportion of endocrine therapy-treated patients across these studies was 65–-80% [27 ▪ ,29 ▪ ,33].…”

Purpose of reviewA comprehensive approach to survivorship care for women with early-stage, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer should systematically include the proactive assessment and adequate management of endocrine therapy-associated symptoms, in order to assure optimal balance between preserving quality of life (QOL) and maximizing treatment adherence. We reviewed the recent literature focused on lifestyle factors, including physical activity, diet and nutrition, weight management, smoke, and alcohol behavior, and their link with symptomatology and QOL among women receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy. Recent findingsRecent studies confirm the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in mitigating several common endocrine therapy-related effects, including musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and insomnia, and in improving physical and emotional wellbeing as well as overall health-related QOL among women with early-stage breast cancer.

“… 28 Nevertheless, there remain ongoing challenges that must be addressed when integrating the use of wearable devices in cancer research and patient care. For example, one must consider the limitation of wearables in tracking specific types of physical activity 196 (eg, weight training, swimming) or physical activity of frail individuals 171 (eg, walking very slowly), as step count or minutes of walking or running would not suffice. Additionally, in the few studies that demonstrated no significant effect of wearable devices and interventions on increasing physical activity, possible limitations include practical barriers to adherence (eg, technical difficulties, 190 poorer physical functioning, 46 financial barriers 160 ); psychological barriers to adherence (eg, preference for personal vs. automated support, emotional/social/cognitive challenges) 145 , 185 ; and intervention design (eg, duration or intensity of intervention, insufficient statistical power).…”

Introduction The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the current literature on wearable technologies in oncology patients for the purpose of prognostication, treatment monitoring, and rehabilitation planning. Methods A search was conducted in Medline ALL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science, up until February 2022. Articles were included if they reported on consumer grade and/or non-commercial wearable devices in the setting of either prognostication, treatment monitoring or rehabilitation. Results We found 199 studies reporting on 18 513 patients suitable for inclusion. One hundred and eleven studies used wearable device data primarily for the purposes of rehabilitation, 68 for treatment monitoring, and 20 for prognostication. The most commonly-reported brands of wearable devices were ActiGraph (71 studies; 36%), Fitbit (37 studies; 19%), Garmin (13 studies; 7%), and ActivPAL (11 studies; 6%). Daily minutes of physical activity were measured in 121 studies (61%), and daily step counts were measured in 93 studies (47%). Adherence was reported in 86 studies, and ranged from 40% to 100%; of these, 63 (74%) reported adherence in excess of 80%. Conclusion Wearable devices may provide valuable data for the purposes of treatment monitoring, prognostication, and rehabilitation. Future studies should investigate live-time monitoring of collected data, which may facilitate directed interventions.
