“…Information provided by getting up from a chair is a quantitative measure of an important functional activity, as this movement is commonly repeated in activities of daily living (Riley, Schenkman, Mann, & Hodge, ). Sit‐to‐stand transitions have shown correlation with biomarkers in BCS (Hartman et al., ) and are commonly employed to assess functional capacity in this BC population (Cantarero‐Villanueva et al., ; Galiano‐Castillo et al., ; Kokkonen et al., ). In this test variant, the subject has to perform the test as fast as possible during the 30 s (Roldán‐Jiménez, Bennett, & Cuesta‐Vargas, ).…”

The goal of this study was to study central sensitization (CS)‐related symptoms in breast cancer (BC) survivors and to find if there are differences in clinical and functional variables. In this cross‐sectional study, 25 women aged between 32 and 69 years participated. CS pain was measured with the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). Forty points was considered the cutoff value. Cancer‐related fatigue (CRF), Quality of life, functional capacity, and handgrip strength (HGS) was assessed. A 60% of BC survivors showed a CSI score from 0 to 40, while the rest 40% of women had a score higher than 40, CSI scores being 38.35 ± 14.54 points in the whole sample. Significant differences were found in functional capacity, CRF and QoL (p < .011). However, there were no differences in HGS (p = .089). This is the first study to report BC survivors CS‐related symptoms. The high CS‐related symptoms group showed differences in some symptoms and functional capacity in this population. Future research including a wider sample and more variables related to pain should be carried out.

“…905 patients were randomized in an intervention group (IG1+IG2) and 749 were randomized in a control group of which 36 received a basic recommendation for exercise (Galiano-Castillo et al, 2016) and 142 followed relaxation treatment (Paulo et al, 2019;Schmidt et al, 2015;Steindorf et al, 2014 (Dieli-Conwright et al, 2018;Galiano-Castillo et al, 2016;Hwang et al, 2008;Paulo et al, 2019;Penttinen et al, 2019;Pinto et al, 2005;Schmidt et al, 2015;Shobeiri et al, 2016;Steindorf et al, 2014), in 4 reported prostate cancer (Cormie et al, 2015;Hojan et al, 2016;Monga et al, 2007;Segal et al, 2009), in 1 reported testicular cancer (Adams et al, 2018), in 1 multiple cancer (Kampshoff et al, 2015).

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most common disease in cancer patients that received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and biotherapy. Many studies recommended physical activity and exercise to improve fatigue. This systematic review aims to provide a qualitative synthesis of Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of Aerobic, Resistance, Endurance and combined exercises on CRF versus control or different exercise group in cancer adult patients and survivors that did not receive palliative care. This systematic review is written and presented according to PRISMA protocols. Articles in the English language were collected using the PubMed and WoS databases from 2001 January 1st to 2019 September 1st. Only RCTs lasted 5 weeks or more were analysed of which CRF outcomes were examined. A total of 15 RCTs met our inclusion criteria. Different outcomes in CRF self-reports were found between Aerobic, Resistance, Endurance and Combined exercises. Findings suggest that exercise improves CRF, especially with aerobic or combined programs. The outcomes of trials could help exercise professionals to properly plan the sessions by dosing the volume and intensity. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to better understand the benefits of physical exercise on cancer patients.

eHealth support for oncological therapy management has different faces. In addition to the direct support of therapy-supportive measures such as the promotion of physical activities, monitoring of the diet and observation of the quality of life through eHealth approaches are possible. Many solutions are now in transition between research and routine use. The most substantial evidence today is in the area of symptom monitoring. Independent studies have shown a significant survival benefit among other advantages as well. There is also a good overlap in eHealth and physical activity. More and more solutions are coming onto the market, which also has an impact for cancer patients. In the field of nutrition, there are only a few successful approaches both within and outside oncology. In contrast, the application of eHealth for the detection of disease-related malnutrition seems promising. Innovative approaches involving “artificial intelligence” or “Internet of Things” are slowly finding their place in both research and routine. For routine care, it will be necessary for doctors, nurses, and patients to know what a real medical eHealth application is and which are just lifestyle products without the needed quality for professional medical usage.
