“…[23][24][25] Most patients in our study had metastases, mainly locoregional, which is similar to findings by Montazeri et al 25 that patients with advanced cancer may have poorer QoL. 7,8,13 Zimmerman et al 26 also confirmed performance status to be an important determinant of QoL in advanced cancer.…”

“…The third, the Symptom Scale, consists of three domains (pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting) and six single items (dyspnea, sleep disorders, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). 13,21 Questions 01-28 contained in the instrument are arranged in a four-point Likert scale, where the respondents classified each item with responses ranging from strongly disagree (1 point) to strongly agree (4 points). Questions 29 and 30, in turn, also used the Likert scale, but with answers ranging from 1 to 7 points, classified as unsatisfactory to satisfactory, respectively.…”

“…The current understanding of FC is quite holistic in that it includes not only areas of physical performance, such as muscular strength, cardiopulmonary endurance and range of motion, but also the emotional and psychological state as well as environmental and social circumstances. [11][12][13][14][15][16] According to the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), function is defined as the interactions between an individual, their health condition and the social and personal context in which they live. [16][17][18] It is the complex interaction between these factors that determines function and impairment.…”

Objective: To evaluate the influence of functional capacity (FC) and how it affects quality of life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors. Method: A total of 400 breast cancer survivors were studied -118 without metastasis, 160 with locoregional metastasis and 122 with distant metastasis. The European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire--Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), Breast Cancer-Specific (EORTC QLQ-BR23), and the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) were used to evaluate FC and QoL. Results: Women with distant metastases presented lower KPS 75.3 (SD=12.5) (p<0.001). For QLQ-C30, the mean of the Functional Scale for patients with distant metastasis was 57 (SD=19) (p<0.001), and the mean of the Symptom Scale for patients with distant metastasis was 37 (SD=20) (p<0.001). Both the scales for pain and fatigue showed the highest mean in the groups. For the Global Health Scale, patients without metastasis scored a mean of 62 (SD=24) points, while those with locoregional metastases scored a mean of 63 (SD=21.4), and distant metastasis scored 51.3 (SD=24) points. In the group with distant metastases, 105 (87%) had pain, and the average KPS was 74 (SD=12.0) (p=0.001). Conclusion: Breast cancer was associated with decreased FC, compromised QoL in women with locoregional and distant metastases compared to those without metastasis.

“…In healthy adult subjects (40–80 years of age) the mean 6MWT distance was 571 ± 90 m with older subjects walking shorter distances than younger 7 . Additionally, the 6MWT has been established as an independent and convenient prognostic factor of surgically treated non‐small‐cell lung cancer 3,6,8,9 …”

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of prehabilitation exercise intervention with respect to (1) acceptability, feasibility, and safety; and (2) physical function, measured by 6‐minute‐walk test (6MWT). Data sources PRISMA guidelines were used to systematically search PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases evaluating prehabilitation exercise interventions. Study selection The inclusion criteria were studies investigating patients who underwent surgery for their cancer and underwent prehabilitation exercise. Data extraction and synthesis Guidelines were applied by independent extraction by multiple observers. Data were pooled using a random‐effects model. Main outcome(s) and measure(s) Acceptability, feasibility, and safety rates were calculated. 6MWT (maximum distance a person can walk at their own pace on a hard, flat surface, measured in meters, with longer distance indicative of better performance status) was compared using two arms using the DerSimonian and Laird method. Results Objective 1. Across 21 studies included in this review, 1564 patients were enrolled, 1371 (87.7%) accepted the trial; of 1371, 1230 (89.7% feasibility) completed the intervention. There was no grade 3+ toxicities. Objective 2. Meta‐analysis of five studies demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in 6MWT distance postoperatively in the control group (mean difference = +27.9 m; 95% confidence interval (CI): 9.3; 46.6) and a significant improvement postoperatively in the prehabilitation group (mean difference = −24.1 m; 95% CI: −45.7; −2.6). Meta‐analysis demonstrated improvements in 6MWT distance 4–8 weeks postoperatively in the prehabilitation group compared to the control group (mean difference = −58.0 m, 95% CI: −92.8; −23.3). Conclusions and relevance Prehabilitation exercise for cancer patients undergoing surgery was found to be safe, acceptable, and feasible with a statistically significant improvement in the 6MWT, indicating that prehabilitation can improve postoperative functional capacity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors associated with the occurrence of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) one month after surgery in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Method: The study included 96 patients with gastrointestinal cancer (50 males and 46 females, mean age 62.7 ± 11.4 years). Data of the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were obtained before surgery and one month after surgery. The subjects were divided into the following two groups: severe CRF group (CFS score of !19 points) and mild CRF group (CFS score of <19 points). Each parameter was compared between the severe and mild CRF groups. The factors associated with CRF were identified by logistic regression analysis involving factors with significant differences between the groups. Result: The CFS score showed a significant interaction, and the CFS score, 6 MWD, and HADS score showed significant differences both before and one month after surgery between the two groups. The CFS score was significantly higher in the severe CRF group than in the mild CRF group both before and one month after surgery. Additionally, the 6MWD was significantly lower in the severe CRF group than in the mild CRF group both before and one month after surgery. The factors identified on logistic regression analysis were the preoperative CFS score and preoperative 6MWD. Conclusion: CRF occurring one month after surgery might be affected by preoperative fatigue and preoperative exercise tolerance.
