The Impact

Objective Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors that threaten the physical and mental health and even life-threatening of women worldwide.Chronic inflammation plays a key role in the occurrence, progression and recurrence of cancer.Several sources of evidence indicate that exercise during and after breast cancer could positively modulate the tumor microenvironment. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to determine the impact of exercise training on inflammatory factors in breast cancer patients. Methods We systematically searched the relevant randomized controlled trials published from January 1990 to June 2017 and analyzed them by Pubmed、Embase、Web of Science and Cochrane Library.The combination of Breast Cancer and Exercise is used for retrieval.The search term used for Pub Med is:（Exercise[Me SH] OR Physical Activity[Text Word] OR Training [Text Word] OR Activity [Text Word] OR Sport[Text Word] AND Breast Cancer[Text Word] OR Breast Tumor [Text Word] OR Breast Neoplasm [Text Word] OR Mammary Cancer [Text Word] OR Malignant Neoplasm of Breast [Text Word] OR Breast Carcinoma [Text Word] AND Interleukins [Text Word] OR IL [Text Word]）.And manually check the references in the article to identify additional articles. Examination of titles and abstracts of papers based on pre-set inclusion criteria.Eleven high-quality trials were included. Results Pooled analyses revealed compared with the control group, the exercise group significantly improved the serum concentration of IL-8(Z=0.07,SMD=-0.02, 95%CI:[-0.47,-0.44],p=0.946)and TNF-α(Z=2.10, SMD=-0.60,95%CI:[-1.16,-0.04],p=0.036). No significant differences were found in the serum concentrations of IL-2(Z=1.96,SMD=-0.69,95%CI:[-1.37,0.00],p=0.05),IL-6(Z=0.40,SMD=-0.12, 95%CI: [-0.69,0.45],p=0.686),IL-10 (Z=1.73,SMD=-0.45,95%CI:[-0.95,0.06],p=0.084)or C-reactive protein(Z=0.18, SMD=-0.03,95%CI:[-0.35,0.41],p=0.861). Conclusions Exercise training can effectively improve some inflammatory factors in breast cancer patients and may affect tumor microenvironment. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the promotion of sports in this population.

Abstract BackgroundSurgery is regarded as the primary treatment for breast cancer. Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a recognised complication after breast cancer surgery, and it is estimated to affect 20–30% of women. Pain catastrophizing has emerged as one of the most influential psychological variables associated with CPSP.MethodsThis trial will be a single-centre, prospective, double-blinded, noninferiority, randomised controlled trial (RCT). Patients scheduled for elective breast cancer surgery (wide local excision or mastectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection) will be screened preoperatively for high pain catastrophising. Patients with high pain catastrophising, defined as a score of ≥ 24 on the Pain Catastrophising Scale will be deemed eligible for inclusion in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a cognitive behavioural therapy or an educational mindfulness based program during their perioperative period. The primary outcome is the Brief Pain Inventory short form average pain severity score at three months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include patient-reported quality of recovery at Day 1–2 after surgery, levels of pain catastrophising, reported depressed mood and anxiety. ]DiscussionTo the best of our knowledge, this protocol describes the first RCT which directly examines the effect of perioperative cognitive behavioural therapy on CPSP among breast cancer patients with high pain catastrophising characteristics. The outcomes of this trial may have significant implications for these patients because perioperative cognitive behavioural therapy has the potential to become an important perioperative intervention to complement patient management.Trial registrationThis trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04924010 on 11th June 2021. All item from the World Health Organisation Trial Registration Data set have been included. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04924010

Study Results

Cognitive behavioural therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and depression in cancer patients when provided within the context of individual sessions. We describe the application of a cognitive behavioural model to a group therapy context. This represents a novel approach to the psychological treatment of cancer patients. Fourteen breast cancer patients attending the Royal Marsden Hospital were included in an assessment of treatment outcome pre-and post-group therapy. Outcome was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Scale and a study-specific visual analog measure relating to perceived efficacy of the therapeutic techniques. Rationale and organization of group therapy is described along with the preliminary pilot study results.
