“…The majority of participants in the review were white with a mean age of 49 years. Two studies included only non-white participants [27, 28], while the remaining studies included white or ethnically mixed populations (Table 1). Based on reported data, the estimated mean time since diagnosis across studies was 2.6 years.…”

Purpose Research has shown that recent post-treatment breast cancer survivors face significant challenges around physical activity as they transition to recovery. This review examined randomized controlled trials targeting physical activity behavior change in breast cancer survivors <5 years post-treatment and describes 1) characteristics of interventions for breast cancer survivors as well as 2) effect size estimates for these studies. Methods A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines with Medline, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus databases. Data were abstracted for primary intervention strategies and other details (e.g., setting, duration, theory use). A subgroup analysis was conducted to assess intensity of exercise supervision/monitoring and intervention effectiveness. Results The search produced 14 unique behavior intervention trials from the US and abroad published 2005-2013. The mean sample size was 153 participants per study. All interventions included moderate-intensity activities plus various behavioral change strategies. Most interventions were partially or entirely home-based. The overall standardized mean difference was 0.47 (0.23, 0.67) with p < 0.001. Conclusion Most interventions were effective in producing short-term behavior changes in physical activity, but varied greatly relative to intervention strategies and intensity of supervision/monitoring. Highly structured interventions tended to produce larger behavior change effects overall, but many larger effect sizes came from interventions supported by phone counseling or email. We observed that ‘more’ may not be better in terms of direct supervision/monitoring in physical activity behavior interventions. This may be important in exploring less resource-intensive options for effective behavior change strategies for recent post-treatment survivors.

“…For example, Mock et al 9 found that a 6-week home-based walking program prescribed and monitored by oncology nurses was effective in improving symptom intensity, anxiety, and sleep in early-stage breast cancer patients on radiation therapy. Similarly, Kim et al 8 found that a 12-week-long nurse-led physical activity and diet intervention resulted in significant improvements in physical activity and diet readiness for change and quality-of-life indices in breast cancer survivors. The authors of both studies concluded that involving oncology nurses in physical activity interventions may be an effective means of improving quality-of-life outcomes in cancer patients.…”

“…3 Breast cancer and its treatments often are associated with adverse effects that can persist for years and decrease health related quality of life (QOL). 4 Recently, besides measurable tumor parameters, the subjective perception regarding quality of life has become an important therapeutic objective. This is true both in the early stages when women seek to participate in everyday life and in the metastatic setting.…”

Many breast cancer survivors want to know what proactive steps they can take in addition to conventional therapies to positively impact their prognosis. This study was planned to compare the effects of a lifestyle interventions program, to usual care on; quality of life (QOL) in breast cancer survivors. This randomized controlled trial study was carried between 2012 and 2015 and included 80 women with stage I, II, or III breast cancer. They were divided into two groups randomly; 40 women were randomized to the lifestyle interventions group, and 40 to the usual care group. Those in the lifestyle interventions group were instructed to practice supervised aerobic exercises with dietary energy restriction training for 24 weeks. Those in the usual care group were instructed to continue their normal life. The patient characteristics form and EORTC QLQ-C30 were used for data collection. Controlling for baseline scores, change over time between two groups was significantly different for the women who practiced in lifestyle interventions; this group reported significantly improved QOL as compared to control group (p< 0.001). Breast cancer patients may benefit from participating in lifestyle interventions program for improving their quality of life. Additional research in lifestyle interventions along with cognitive behavioral therapy also may be beneficial.
