Digital and interactive health interventions (DIHIs), such as virtual-reality-based therapy (VRBT) and smartphone-app-based therapy (SABT), may be useful for reducing the impact of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer (BC) in women. The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore the effect of DIHIs on improving pain, anxiety, depression, quality of life (QoL), and upper extremity (UE) disability-related lymphedema in women with BC. Methods: We searched PubMed Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and SciELO for the period ending February 2022. We included studies that assessed the effect of DIHIs on UE motor disability, pain, anxiety, depression, and QoL in women with BC. The effect size was calculated using Cohen’s standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: Twenty studies providing data from 1613 women with BC were included. With respect to UE disability, DIHIs increased flexion (SMD, 1.92; 95%CI: −1.16, 2.68), abduction (SMD, 1.66; 95%CI: 0.91, 2.42), external rotation shoulder range of motion (SMD, 1.1; 95%CI: 0.36, 1.85), UE function (SMD, −0.72; 95%CI: −1.31, −0.13), and handgrip strength (SMD, 0.4; 95%CI: 0.21, 0.59). DIHIs reduced pain (SMD, −0.8; 95%CI: −1.31, −0.26), anxiety (SMD, −1.02; 95%CI: −1.71, −0.34), and depression (SMD, −1.57; 95%CI: −3.1, −0.08). Finally, DIHIs increased overall health (SMD, 0.6; 95%CI: 0.31, 0.89). Conclusions: Right at the end of therapy, DIHIs are effective at improving UE function, pain, anxiety, depression, and QoL in women with BC. VRBT has a greater effect than SABT for the assessed outcomes.

“…Çinar and colleagues reported results of a randomized-controlled trial specifically designed to evaluate the efficacy of a mobile phone app-based training support (providing educational contents and relaxation exercises) in improving QOL in breast cancer survivors treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy (tamoxifen and AI). The app-based support was effective in improving overall QOL, physical, emotional, and functional well being as well as endocrine symptoms [58]. Baik et al [59] reported on an intervention with two smartphone apps (My Guide and My Health), specifically designed for Latina breast cancer survivors, which led to good levels of engagement (more than 1 h of use per week) and positive effects on breast cancer and social well being.…”

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.

Purpose Breast cancer survivors are more likely to report psychological distress and unmet need for support compared to healthy controls. Psychological mobile health interventions might be used in follow-up care of breast cancer patients to improve their mental health. Methods We searched MEDLINE, PsychINFO, Cochrane and PROSPERO for articles on controlled trials examining the effectiveness of psychological mobile health interventions compared to routine care regarding mental health outcomes of adult breast cancer survivors. This review followed the PRISMA statement and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022312972). Two researchers independently reviewed publications, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Results After screening 204 abstracts published from 2005 to February 2023, eleven randomised trials involving 2249 patients with a mean age between 43.9 and 56.2 years met the inclusion criteria. All interventions used components of cognitive behavioural therapy. Most studies applied self-guided interventions. Five studies reported percentages of patients never started (range = 3–15%) or discontinued the intervention earlier (range = 3–36%). No long-term effect > 3 months post intervention was reported. Three of seven studies reported a significant short-term intervention effect for distress. Only one study each showed an effect for depression (1/5), anxiety (1/5), fear of recurrence (1/4) and self-efficacy (1/3) compared to a control group. Conclusions A wide variance of interventions was used. Future studies should follow guidelines in developing and reporting their mobile interventions and conduct long-term follow-up to achieve reliable and comparable results. Implications for cancer survivors No clear effect of psychological mobile health interventions on patients’ mental health could be shown. Registration PROSPERO ID 312972.
