Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of exercise, monitored and managed using smart bracelets, on body composition, and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Methods: A before-and-after study was conducted in 109 patients who were in the recovery phase of breast cancer and attended the Breast Surgery Department of the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University up to December 2017. Patients were advised to adhere to at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, and a smart bracelet was issued to each participant to record their daily exercise data for 3 months. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to observe the effects of short-term unsupervised exercise intervention on body composition in patients recovering from breast cancer. Patients completed the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast to assess health-related quality of life. Results: Weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), fat mass index (FMI), percent body fat (PBF), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC), and visceral fat area (VFA) were lower than baseline after exercising for 3 months based on data from the wearable devices ( P < .05). The only significant improvement was found in the “additional concerns about breast cancer” category among the quality-of-life assessments ( P < .05). The average walking time was negatively associated with BFM, PBF, and FMI, while the average calorie consumption due to running was positively associated with fat free mass (FFM). Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated that short-term exercise may be beneficial for postoperative breast cancer survivors. A wearable device could help patients track physical data easily and promote a healthier and more positive life.

Improvements in cancer care over the years have increased the numbers of cancer survivors. Therefore, quality of life, fat mass management and physical activity are growing areas of interest in these people. After the surgical removal of a breast cancer, adjuvant therapy remains anyway a common strategy. The aim of this study was to assess how adjuvant therapy can affect the effectiveness of an unsupervised exercise program. Forty-two women were enrolled (52.0 ± 10.1 years). Assessments performed at baseline and after six months of exercise prescription were body composition, health-related quality of life, aerobic capacity by Six-Minute Walk Test, limbs strength by hand grip and chair test and flexibility by sit and reach. Statistical analyses were conducted by ANOVA tests and multiple regression. Improvements in body composition, physical fitness and quality of life (physical functioning, general health, social functioning and mental health items) were found. The percentage change in fat mass has been associated with adjuvant cancer therapy (intercept = −0.016; b = 8.629; p < 0.05). An unsupervised exercise prescription program improves body composition, physical fitness and health-related quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Adjuvant therapy in cancer slows down the effectiveness of an exercise program in the loss of fat mass.

TPS12130 Background: The first five years post-treatment for breast cancer are a critical phase, when the survivors may face a multitude of problems, including persistent and/or late-emerging symptoms following the cancer and its treatment, psycho-social distress associated with the risk of cancer recurrence, chronic uncertainty and social disruption. Thus, this trial will answer the research questions of 'Will the combined symptom management and mindfulness-based training programme be a promising approach to assist women with breast cancer in transition from treatment to survivorship?', and 'Since breast cancer survivors have infrequent clinical follow-up, will e-Home based system provide a feasible option for post-treatment care?' Methods: We aim to develop an e-Home based symptom management and mindfulness training programme for breast cancer survivors and to determine its effects on the endpoints including quality of life, symptom distress, psychosocial adjustment, psychological morbidity, and unplanned outpatient attendance or hospitalisation in breast cancer survivors. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02931864) We employ a randomised clinical trial with four study arms (with 47 subjects, who have completed cancer treatment for stage 0 to 3 breast cancer between 6 months to 5 years previously, in each arm) together with a process evaluation; group 1 (usual care), group 2 (experimental group: five weekly sessions of online symptom management + mindfulness training programme and usual care), group 3 (comparison group 1: online symptom management programme and usual care), and group 4 (comparison group 2: online mindfulness training programme and usual care). Subjects will complete questionnaires measures of 6-item Social Support Questionnaire, Breast Cancer Survivor Self- Efficacy Scale, the Quality of Life-Cancer Survivor Scale, Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale, Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, short version of the Fear of Recurrence Scale, Hospital and anxiety Depression Scale, and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire at baseline, at 8 weeks from time 1 (time 2), at 12 weeks from time 1 (time 3) and at 24 weeks from time 1 (time 4). Intention-to-treat approach will be used. Repeated measures analysis of variance will be used to examine the differences on outcome measures among the experimental, comparison, and control groups across study time points. Currently, 162 of 188 planned subjects have been enrolled and the trial continues as planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02931864 .
