“…Although few studies have examined the relationship between depression and HRQOL in patients with gastric cancer, the findings of previous studies on other types of cancer have supported the negative association between depression and HRQOL. For example, among patients with esophageal cancer [ 21 ], prostate cancer [ 31 ], gynecological cancer [ 24 ], hematological cancer [ 32 ], and breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy [ 33 ], depression was identified as an independent risk factor for reducing various aspects of HRQOL. Depression is characterized by feelings of sadness and can result in severe impairments that interfere with or limit one’s ability to carry out major life activities, both at work and at home [ 34 ].…”

The benefits of exercise for health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and depression in patients with gastrointestinal disease remain unclear, and studies on gastric cancer are scant. This study examines the association between the maintenance of regular aerobic exercise at a recommended level and depression and HRQOL in patients with gastric cancer during or after treatment. In this cross-sectional study, a face-to-face survey was used to collect data from 126 patients with primary gastric cancer during or after treatment in a tertiary acute-care hospital in Korea. Regular exercise was defined as regularly maintained aerobic exercise of at least moderate intensity consuming ≥4 metabolic equivalents for ≥150 min/wk for at least 6 months. Depression was measured using the 9-item version of the Patient Health Questionnaire, and HRQOL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30. Patients who maintained aerobic exercise at a recommended level were less likely to have depression and more likely to have improved global QOL, as well as physical, role, and emotional functioning. Patients with depression were less likely to report improved global QOL and functioning. Thus, exercise can have a synergistic effect on improvement in HRQOL via indirect positive effects on depression and direct effects on HRQOL in patients with gastric cancer. Oncology nurses should encourage patients with gastric cancer who suffer from a depressive mood to set up and implement specific plans for practicing regular exercise, which can lead to an improvement in both depression and HRQOL.

“…Faktor lain yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien QLQ-C30 adalah penggunaan antibodi monoklonal, pasien yang menjalani kemoterapi dengan antibodi monoklonal memiliki kualitas hidup yang baik, perbedaan yang signifikan terdapat pada fungsi peran. Sedangkan gejala yang tidak diinginkan juga terjadi pada kelompok kemoterapi yang tidak mendapatkan antibodi monoklonal (Trinca et al, 2019).…”

Latar Belakang: Kanker disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan sel-sel jaringan yang abnormal. Kanker payudara merupakan permasalahan utama kesehatan pada kalangan wanita. Salah satu penatalaksanaan utama pada penyakit kanker yaitu kemoterapi. Proses kemoterapi harus memiliki tingkat kepatuhan tinggi agar dapat menunjang keberhasilan terapi. Keberhasilan terapi akan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien. Tujuan: penelitian ini untuk mengetahui tentang hubungan kepatuhan kemoterapi dengan kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan literature review, dalam pencarian literature bersumber dari tiga database (Pubmed, Doaj, Google Scholer), menggunakan kata kunci sesuai dengan tema. Hasil: Kepatuhan pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani kemoterapi dipengaruhi oleh tingkat stadium dan efek samping sistemik dari pengobatan. Kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor. Kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara dapat ditingkatkan dengan pemberian edukasi. Pasien kanker payudara yang patuh menjalani kemoterapi memiliki kualitas hidup yang baik. Kesimpulan: adanya hubungan kepatuhan menjalani kemoterapi dengan kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara. Rekomendasi: Diterapkannya sikap kepatuhan pada pasien kanker payudara dalam menjalani kemoterapi supaya dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien. Background: Cancer is caused by the growth of abnormal tissue cells. Breast cancer is a major health problem among women. For cancer sufferers must undergo chemotherapy. In the chemotherapy process, you must have a high level of adherence in order to improve your quality of life. Aim: This study was to determine the relationship between chemotherapy adherence and quality of life in breast cancer patients. Methods: this study used a literature review, in which literature searches were sourced from three databases (Pubmed, Doaj, Google Scholer), using keywords according to the theme. Results: Surveillance of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy that was constructed by the stage level and systemic side effects of treatment. The quality of life of breast cancer patients by many factors. The quality of life for breast cancer patients can be improved by providing education. Breast cancer patients who are adherent undergo chemotherapy with good quality of life. Conclusion: There is a relationship who underwent chemotherapy with the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Recommendation: the application of attitudes to breast cancer patients in chemotherapy life can improve the quality of patients.

“…As cancer becomes a chronic condition rather than a life-threatening illness, the health care community must learn to recognize and manage the long-term sequelae of physical and psychological side effects of treatment protocols. Major issues receiving the most attention include chronic inflammation [3,4], increased risk of second primary malignancies [5], pain and muscle weakness [6], depression and anxiety [7][8][9][10], fatigue [11], sleep disturbance [12], dryness of the mouth [13,14], and less threatening medical conditions. In addition, preexisting comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes will most certainly affect disease-free survival, and ultimately, overall survival [15].…”

Introduction Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer deaths; however, recent improvements in treatment have improved survivorship. As a result of this improvement, more individuals are living with the long-term side effects of cancer treatment. Therefore, methods that incorporate lifestyle and mind-body approaches are becoming increasingly used in the patient treatment pathway. Methods In this study, PranaScience Institute will develop and test a group video mobile application for Yogic Breathing (YB). YB is shown to reduce symptomatic conditions associated with several conditions including breast cancer. For this initial feasibility study, PranaScience will collaborate with the Medical University of South Carolina to implement the study app-based program in breast cancer survivors. This research is aimed to understand if the YB could be delivered via an app, if participants are able to practice it satisfactorily, and if there is any symptom relief by the YB practice. In the control group, participants will be directed to the Attention Control (AC) feature of the app, which guides users to focus on a mindfulness activity not involving YB. Participants will be randomly assigned to the YB or AC study plan (N=20 per group). Breast cancer survivors who have completed radiation therapy within last 2 months will be recruited for this study and provided access to the app for a 12-week program. The study app will record total practice times. Virtual visits by a study yoga instructor during group video sessions will measure participant compliance with proper technique. Feasibility will be examined by evaluating intervention delivery factors and resource needs. Acceptability of using the mobile study app to support symptom management will be evaluated using a satisfaction and system usability scale. Behavioral survey measures will help guide effect sizes and power calculations for the next larger-scale study. Biomarkers in the saliva (tumor suppressors, cytokines), and fingernails (cortisol, differential proteomics) will be measured at baseline and end of study at 12 weeks. Discussion All findings from this pilot study will be synthesized to refine the mobile study app in preparation for large-scale evaluation in Phase II involving all-study site participants with cancer. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT05161260.
