“…No significant changes in isometric back strength, hip circumference, body fat percentage or muscle mass were found.The primary finding of this randomized controlled trial is that participants exhibited a large effect size and a significant improvement in isometric abdominal strength after the CO-CUIDATE program. These results are consistent with a previous study investigating the stabilization of deep abdominal muscles in breast cancer survivors(8). CCS exhibit alterations in abdominal deep muscles of more than 50% relative to healthy controls (31), high levels of lowerback pain and muscle hyperalgesia up to 6 months after surgery (32).…”

“…Of the nonpharmacologic approaches for managing CRF, exercise has the best evidence to support its effectiveness. 64,159–163 A meta-analysis of 44 studies including 3254 cancer survivors concluded that exercise reduced fatigue, especially in programs that involved moderate-intensity resistance exercise among older cancer survivors.164 Further guidance on physical activity can be found in the NCCN Guidelines for Survivorship (to view the most recent version of these guidelines, visit NCCN.org).…”

Cancer-related fatigue is defined as a distressing, persistent, subjective sense of physical, emotional, and/or cognitive tiredness or exhaustion related to cancer or cancer treatment that is not proportional to recent activity and interferes with usual functioning. It is one of the most common side effects in patients with cancer. Fatigue has been shown to be a consequence of active treatment, but it may also persist into posttreatment periods. Furthermore, difficulties in end-of-life care can be compounded by fatigue. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Cancer-Related Fatigue provide guidance on screening for fatigue and recommendations for interventions based on the stage of treatment. Interventions may include education and counseling, general strategies for the management of fatigue, and specific nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions. Fatigue is a frequently underreported complication in patients with cancer and, when reported, is responsible for reduced quality of life. Therefore, routine screening to identify fatigue is an important component in improving the quality of life for patients living with cancer.
