2 Literature review- Exercise for Women with or at Risk for Breast Cancer Related-Lymphedema Lymphedema Accepted for publication in October 2006 in Physical Therapy

3 In 2006, 1 in 9 women will develop breast cancer and 1/3 of them will succumb to the disease

4 Improved screening has resulted in increased survivorship More women are coping with the changes that may accompany the disease and its treatment

5 Quality of life (QOL) is the overall pleasure, comfort and enjoyment in someone s s life QOL is often affected in women with breast cancer

6 Improves overall health Affects mood and QOL

7 To examine the effect of exercise on QOL in women living with breast cancer

8 Initial Search strategy performed in November 2005 Electronic databases searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed,, and PEDro Keywords: breast cancer and quality of life or QOL and exercise or physical activity

9 1) Females diagnosed with breast cancer 2) Physical activity or exercise 3) Quality of life 4) Standardized QOL measurement tool 5) Randomized control trials (RCT) 6) Published in a peer-reviewed reviewed journal

10 1) They were review articles, descriptive, co- relational, observational or survey studies, unpublished dissertations, or abstracts 2) Physical activity or exercise was related to a person s s occupation, 3) Physical activity or exercise intervention was carried out for less than four weeks, 4) They did not use a standardized QOL outcome measurement tool

11 Methodological Quality: -van Tulder Criteria List for the Methodological Quality Assessment (2003) Levels of Evidence: -Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM)

16 Broad range of exercise protocols including: Aerobic Resistance training Gentle arm exercises Dance and movement therapy Tai Chi-Chuan Chuan

17 Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Breast (FACT-B) The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Version IV (FACIT-F) F) Medical Outcomes Trust 36- Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) Cancer rehabilitation evaluation system short form (CARES- SF) European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

18 McNeely et al. (2006) Effects of exercise on breast cancer patients and survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis analysis Examined the effects of exercise on QOL, fatigue, physical functioning and body composition in women living with breast cancer =

19 Baseline characteristics noted were age, weight, height, race, education, marital status, stage of disease, treatment type and initial activity level For the majority, control and intervention groups in each study did not statistically differ Exception: Headley et al. (2004) and Mustian et al. (2004)

20 Heterogeneity of Exercise Intervention and QOL outcome measures used Poor generalizability Stages of breast cancer Inability to blind subjects Small sample sizes

21 Physical activity and exercise are safe for women with breast cancer to perform Exercise is consistently found to be a positive predictor of QOL following breast cancer diagnosis and treatment

22 Most beneficial exercise regime is still unknown due to lack of consensus and the number of studies Clinicians must remain up to date on current research findings
