“…Scott et al showed a 32% increase in Vo 2max after a 24‐week lifestyle intervention combining exercise and a hypocaloric healthy eating program. Exercise interventions that resulted in significant improvements in Vo 2max varied widely, ranging from home‐based and telephone‐based interventions to individual and group sessions with certified trainers. Interventions also varied with respect to type of exercise, intensity of exercise, and study length.…”

BackgroundThere is emerging evidence that adjuvant treatments for breast cancer negatively impact cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or Vo2max, a key predictor of cardiovascular risk. Although a number of studies have measured CRF in breast cancer patients, there is currently limited data regarding expected CRF values in this patient population. Given that CRF is a poor prognostic sign and recently highlighted as a key measure to standardize by the American Heart Association, we sought to review the available literature on CRF among breast cancer patients.Methods and ResultsWe identified 27 clinical trials and observational studies measuring Vo2max in the pre– and post–adjuvant treatment setting for breast cancer. We compared Vo2max before to Vo2max after adjuvant therapy and compared Vo2max in female breast cancer patients with Vo2max in healthy controls.ConclusionsWe found that CRF was substantially lower in women with a history of breast cancer compared with healthy women and this was most pronounced among breast cancer patients in the post‐adjuvant setting. We conclude that knowledge of normative CRF values is critical to tailor appropriately timed exercise interventions in breast cancer patients susceptible to low CRF and subsequent cardiovascular risk.

“…Body weight among participants, however, did not significantly change. As research suggests, cancer survivors typically lose weight during cancer treatments which is followed by weight gain beyond baseline measures once primary treatment is completed [9,25]. Previous research has shown that exercise can help maintain, if not decrease, body weight in breast cancer patients [24,26].…”

Cancer survivors in the U.S. now total over 12 million. The symptoms remaining posttreatment may lead to a decrease in quality of life. Often patients are left without guidance to rehabilitate themselves back to prior physical, emotional and psychosocial status. Rehabilitation for patients with cancer should be no different from rehabilitation for other diagnostic conditions, including both educational and functional components. Purpose:To measure the effectiveness of a cancer survivor rehabilitation program.Methods: Thirty post-treatment cancer survivors, (26 breast, 3 colon, 1 lung, 2 men, 28 women, 35-77 years) were subjects in a one group pre-post quasi-experimental design. The program consisted of two, 90 minute sessions per week for 12 weeks. Each meeting was divided into 3 sections: an educational activity, cardiovascular training, and a strength and flexibility session. The dependent measures included: aerobic capacity, body fat %, lower body flexibility, handgrip strength, quality of life, Schwartz fatigue scale, and the LASA scale (fatigue, anxiety, confusion, depression, energy and anger). A paired t-test was used to analyze pre-post measures.Results: Aerobic capacity increased 20%, body fat decreased by 1.6 %, lower body flexibility improved 13.7%, and handgrip strength increased 11.3%. Quality of life increased 12.2%. Fatigue measured by the Schwartz scale decreased 28%, LASA scale results: fatigue decreased 50.3%, and depression decreased 63%, confusion decreased 55%, energy increased 47.8%, and anger decreased 62.2%. Anxiety decreased 27.5% but was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: This program gave the participants the tools to change their lifestyles for the better. They developed a fundamental knowledge of the physiological and psychological changes that can occur with lifestyle choices and they had a support system with other participants. This combination of tools acquired in the cancer rehabilitation program proved effective at reducing symptoms often seen in post-treatment cancer survivors and improving overall quality of life.
