“…Similar to what is observed in other cancer cohorts, this review suggests the proportion of insufficiently active patients increases during treatment [33][34][35][36]. After treatment, levels of PA are lower for patients with brain cancer (22-41% meeting guidelines) compared to more common cancers (e.g., mixed cohort of breast, colorectal, prostate cancer-54% meeting guidelines) [36].…”

Purpose The aims of this systematic review were to: (1) describe physical activity (PA) levels following diagnosis of primary brain cancer, (2) determine the relationship between PA levels and health outcomes, and (3) assess the effect of participating in an exercise intervention on health outcomes following a diagnosis of brain cancer. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and CINAHL were searched for relevant articles published prior to May 1, 2020. Studies reporting levels of PA, the relationship between PA and health outcomes, and exercise interventions conducted in adults with brain cancer were eligible. The search strategy included terms relating to primary brain cancer, physical activity, and exercise. Two independent reviewers assessed articles for eligibility and methodological quality (according to Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools). Descriptive statistics were used to present relevant data and outcomes. Results 15 studies were eligible for inclusion. Most adults with brain cancer were insufficiently active from diagnosis through to post-treatment. Higher levels of PA were associated with lower severity of brain cancer specific concerns and higher quality of life. Preliminary evidence suggests that exercise is safe, feasible and potentially beneficial to brain cancer symptom severity and interference, aerobic capacity, body composition and PA levels. However, the level of evidence to support these findings is graded as weak. Conclusions Evidence suggests that it is likely appropriate to promote those with brain cancer to be as physically active as possible. The need or ability of those with brain cancer to meet current PA guidelines promoted to all people with cancer remains unclear.

“…Specifically, the study was longitudinal with prospective repeated measures of physical activity, whereas the broader evidence regarding physical activity post-cancer (particularly post-ovarian cancer) is derived from cross-sectional studies and/or retrospective data collection processes. 14 Further, few studies involving gynecological cancer cohorts have assessed physical activity in the first year post-diagnosis. 14 The findings reported here suggest that physical activity levels increased from baseline through to 2 years post-diagnosis assessment.…”

“…14 Further, few studies involving gynecological cancer cohorts have assessed physical activity in the first year post-diagnosis. 14 The findings reported here suggest that physical activity levels increased from baseline through to 2 years post-diagnosis assessment. However, our baseline physical activity assessment coincided with the point of diagnosis, a time typically associated with unresolved or heightened disease-related symptoms, pre-operative appointments and psychological stress, all of which would likely contribute to lower levels of baseline physical activity than would be observed in the year or decade prior to diagnosis.…”

“…Original research preliminary (although supportive) evidence available in the ovarian cancer population. 14 However, women with ovarian cancer typically have a poorer prognosis, more advanced disease at diagnosis, and require more extensive surgery and adjuvant treatment than the more common cancer types. 36 37 This study provides the first longitudinal evidence with prospective assessment of physical activity levels during a previously understudied time period (first year postdiagnosis of ovarian cancer).…”

ObjectivePhysical activity following cancer diagnosis is associated with improved outcomes, including potential survival benefits, yet physical activity levels among common cancer types tend to decrease following diagnosis and remain low. Physical activity levels following diagnosis of less common cancers, such as ovarian cancer, are less known. The objectives of this study were to describe physical activity levels and to explore characteristics associated with physical activity levels in women with ovarian cancer from pre-diagnosis to 2 years post-diagnosis.MethodsAs part of a prospective longitudinal study, physical activity levels of women with ovarian cancer were assessed at multiple time points between pre-diagnosis and 2 years post-diagnosis. Physical activity levels and change in physical activity were described using metabolic equivalent task hours and minutes per week, and categorically (sedentary, insufficiently, or sufficiently active). Generalized Estimating Equations were used to explore whether participant characteristics were related to physical activity levels.ResultsA total of 110 women with ovarian cancer with a median age of 62 years (range 33–88) at diagnosis were included. 53–57% of the women were sufficiently active post-diagnosis, although average physical activity levels for the cohort were below recommended levels throughout the 2-year follow-up period (120–142.5min/week). A decrease or no change in post-diagnosis physical activity was reported by 44–60% of women compared with pre-diagnosis physical activity levels. Women diagnosed with stage IV disease, those earning a lower income, those receiving chemotherapy, and those currently smoking or working were more likely to report lower physical activity levels and had increased odds of being insufficiently active or sedentary.ConclusionsInterventions providing patients with appropriate physical activity advice and support for behavior change could potentially improve physical activity levels and health outcomes.

Aspek-aspek yang mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pada pasien kanker dapat berupa aspek fisik seperti citra tubuh, respon terhadap pengobatan dan perawatan, serta morbiditas (Evans subharda Ph et al, 2014).…”

Cancer is a chronic disease that reduces the quality of life of the sufferer. High stressors and low coping due to disease prognosis, therapy management, and minimal social support, have an impact on poor psychological conditions. Therefore, we need complementary therapies such as yoga that is easy, cheap, and can be done independently. Yoga practice increases oxygen supply and relaxes muscles and joints which can increase hormonal work which is beneficial for the body physically and psychologically for cancer patients. Objective: This study aims to explain the effectiveness of yoga on increasing QoL (Quality of Life) in cancer patients. Research data were identified from 5 journal databases including PubMed, JSTOR (Journal Storage), Wiley Online Library, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis Online using the PIOS (Participant, Intervention, Outcomes and Study Design) method and MeSH term on advanced search engines. Articles that become research data are articles published in 2006-2020 in the English version, open access, and in full text in the original research article form. A total of 3050 articles were found, a screening process was carried out using the Prisma Protocol to eliminate articles that did not meet the criteria. This literature review study found 16 articles that prove that the use of yoga interventions can improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Cancer patients are advised to do self-care in the form of Yoga to improve their quality of life. Advanced research will need to compare the feasibility between yoga and different intervention.
