Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, but fortunately has high survival rates. Many studies have been performed to investigate the effects of exercise in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. There is evidence that exercise after the diagnosis of breast cancer improves mortality, morbidity, health related quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning, muscle strength, and emotional wellbeing. Based on scientific data, breast cancer patients should be recommended to participate in rehabilitation programs including aerobic and strength training. The aim of this article is to review the recently published data on the effect of exercise in patients with breast cancer in order to present the current perspective on the topic. Key words: Breast cancer; Exercise; Rehabilitation; Physical activity; Cancer Core tip: Exercise is not merely safe and feasible for breast cancer patients, but is moreover a complementary treatment for achieving physiological and psychological improvements. Drawing clinicians' attention to this issue is important for improving patients' quality of life. We advise a multidisciplinary approach to encourage breast cancer patients into engaging in rehabilitation programs combining both strengthening and aerobic exercises for the most beneficial results.

“…El subtipo de psicoterapia breve más utilizada, derivada del proceso psicoanalítico, hace referencia a la terapia psicodinámicamente orientada [71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96], y en uno de los artículos se plantea la posibilidad de diseñar un estudio que compare este tipo de intervenciones con otros modelos psicoterapéuticos [96]. Si bien no se menciona el número mínimo de sesiones necesario para garantizar una adecuada intervención, se recomienda que, como todo proceso psicoterapéutico, se centre en el individuo que se beneficiaría de ella, más que en intentar plantear una fórmula o algoritmo para reproducirlo de manera autónoma.…”

ResumenEn el paciente médicamente enfermo, las intervenciones farmacológicas o psicoterapéuticas habituales caen en desuso por particularidades propias de la hospitalización y la comorbilidad física; por ello se hace necesario identificar diferentes estrategias que permitan incidir benéficamente en la calidad de vida de este grupo de pacientes. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión narrativa de la literatura que permita identificar estrategias terapéuticas que hayan demostrado efectividad en el proceso de este grupo de pacientes. Metodología: Revisión narrativa de literatura. Resultados: Se identificaron 10 corrientes terapéuticas no farmacológicas que han demostrado mejoría en indicadores como percepción de dolor, mejoría en calidad de vida, regulación de alteraciones del patrón de sueño, fatiga, en el contexto de pacientes con enfermedad crónica, que puede encontrarse en entornos tan diversos como son los pacientes de oncología o de las unidades de dolor crónico. Conclusiones: Las intervenciones no farmacológicas han demostrado efectividad en el control de síntomas físicos y emocionales en pacientes con enfermedad crónica y son herramientas con las que debe contar el profesional en salud mental.
