“…In the past, plenty of rest was recommended for cancer treatment and recovery however, this was overemphasized and led to most patients having physical conditioning and muscular strength, making it (Ness et al, 2006). Physical activity can improve physical function, hasten recovery from the immediate side effects of cancer treatment, prevent long-term effects, and may reduce the risk of recurrence and increase survival (Markes et al, 2006;Courneya, 2009). Besides the physiological found that exercise is also consistently associated with positive effects on psychological/ emotional well-being, not been investigated for all cancer types but, it is known to decrease the risk of many other diseases including: diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis/bone disease (Pekmezi et al, 2011) …”

Cancer is a menace fast gaining momentum in Nigeria and other developing countries. It is an expensive rates in Nigeria are spiraling beyond control. This literature search study was primarily aimed at providing recommendations on cost-effective strategies for development interventions to promote self-management for cancer survivors in Nigeria with a goal to improve quality of life and overall survival.Keywords: Cancer -Nigeria -survival -incidence/mortality -lifestyle changes -self-care RESEARCH ARTICLE Boosting Cancer Survival in Nigeria: Self-management StrategiesObiageli Crystal Oluka 1 1 1 2 * from the time of diagnosis to the end of initial treatment and the transition from treatment to extended and longterm survival. In this paper however, the term cancer patient and survivor are used interchangeably. Materials and Methods AimThis study reviews the epidemiology of cancer in Nigeria, providing recommendations on self-management strategies for survivors aimed at improving quality of life and overall survival. Literature SearchRelevant articles were identified by searching several databases: PUBMED, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. Information was also retrieved from the websites of international agencies and non-governmental organizations as well as reference lists of eligible articles. Key search terms included synonyms of the following words: cancer; Nigeria; survival; incidence/mortality; lifestyle changes and self-care, which were used in various combinations.

“…Weight gain can also negatively impact upon self-esteem and other psychological aspects of QOL [28]. Furthermore, weight gain and obesity have been significantly linked to higher relapses and poorer survival [13], arm swelling and symptoms of persistent lymphedema [2,17]. Previous research has indicated that weight gain is more common in women receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, particularly for extended treatment durations, and appears to be more pronounced in premenopausal women [27].…”

“…Exercise is one of the most effective interventions that can assist in the management of breast cancer treatment side-effects through enhanced improvements in cardio-respiratory fitness, immune function during recovery, self-esteem and other psychological health parameters [12][13][14]. Breast cancer patients who exercise have reported decreased levels of anxiety and depression, and research reviews have also suggested physical activity during treatment and recovery may enhance breast cancer survival [15,16].…”

“…Despite the wellestablished benefits of exercise, the effect of exercise on a broader range of breast cancer treatment side-effects is generally unknown. Review authors have therefore called for more attention to be focused on how exercise affects the multitude of frequently experienced, persistent side-effects of breast cancer treatment [13,14].…”

. 2013, 'Self-reported side effects of breast cancer treatment: a cross-sectional study of incidence, associations, and the influence of exercise ', Cancer Causes and Control, vol. 24,no. 3, Self-reported side effects of breast cancer treatment: a cross-sectional study of incidence, associations, and the influence of exercise AbstractPurpose Side effects as a result of breast cancer treatment may have a lasting detrimental impact on quality of life. Exercise has been shown to be an effective intervention in post-treatment care. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of breast cancer treatment-related side effects through identifying potential patient characteristic associations, including current levels of exercise.Methods Four hundred and thirty-two breast cancer patients completed an online survey covering their treatment and demographic background, current exercise levels, and self-reported treatment side effects. Side effects were considered in a binary logistic regression against age, surgery, currently undergoing treatment, and exercise levels to ascertain significant relationships (p < 0.05) and associative values (Odds Ratio).Results Lumpectomy patients were less likely to report aching muscles (OR 0.61, 95 % CI 0.39-0.96), hot flushes (OR 0.60, 95 % CI 0.38-0.96), and weight gain (OR 0.59, 95 % CI 0.38-0.92) than mastectomy patients. Women currently undergoing treatment were more likely to report hot flushes (OR 3.77, 95 % CI 2.34-6.08), aching muscles (OR 1.62, 95 % CI 1.02-2.57), and weight gain (OR 1.89, 95 % CI 1.19-2.99) than women finished treatment. Sedentary women were more likely to experience shoulder limitations (OR 1.77, 95 % CI 1.14-2.77), muscular chest wall pain (OR 1.69, 95 % CI 1.07-2.65), weight gain (OR 2.29, 95 % CI 1.44-3.64), lymphedema (OR 1.68, 95 % CI 1.04-2.71), and breathlessness (OR 2.30 95 % CI 1.35-3.92) than their physically active counterparts.Conclusions Patient characteristics may inform interventions to improve care post-breast cancer treatment. Sufficient levels of exercise were consistently associated fewer side effects and should be encouraged.

Os benefícios decorrentes da prática do exercício físico para pacientes com câncer estão evidenciados em bem conduzidas revisões sistemáticas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] , demonstrando a melhora de aptidão cardiorrespiratória, força e resistência muscular, reduções da fadiga, depressão, ansiedade e angústia. Apesar destas informações, o American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) publicou em 2010 o "Roundtable on Exercise Guidelines for Cancer Survivors" 8 sobre o exercício físico em pacientes com câncer, mostrando que ainda existem diversas lacunas, necessitando de maiores e mais robustos estudos nesta área.O artigo "Parâmetros, Considerações e Modulação de Programas de Exercício Físico para Pacientes Oncológicos -Uma Revisão Sistemática" 9 , na avaliação do nosso grupo de pesquisa, que conta com a participação de um dos autores citados no referido artigo (Claudio Battaglini, atuando na Universidade da Carolina do Norte, EUA), apresenta inconsistências no texto, referidas a seguir:1. O método empregado na realização do estudo nos parece estar equivocado, pois o artigo se propõe a ser uma Revisão Sistemática, e segundo a Colaboração Cochrane 10 são necessários ao menos dois autores com opiniões concordantes ou três em caso de discordância para evitar erros no desenvolvimento da revisão.Entretanto o artigo em discussão é assinado por um único autor. 5. As informações da tabela 2 são atribuídas ao coautor desta carta ao editor (Claudio Battaglini). Porém, como também ocorre na tabela 3, as informações não constam do artigo referido.O intuito principal desta carta é preservar a qualidade da informação e contribuir para o debate científico. Manifestamos, ainda, interesse em colaborar com a RBME no aprofundamento das discussões referentes a este tema.
