Overview

Supports exercise benefits on cardiopulmonary function and fatigue in breast cancer survivors; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does a six-month supervised exercise intervention improve cardiopulmonary function and fatigue in breast cancer survivors?

P
Population
96 breast cancer survivors undergoing various clinical treatments (surgery alone n=22; surgery and chemotherapy n=30; surgery and radiation n=17; surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation n=27)
I
Intervention
Individualized exercise prescription and a six-month supervised exercise intervention
O
Outcome
Cardiopulmonary function (predicted maximal oxygen consumption and time on treadmill) and fatiguesurrogate

A six-month individualized, supervised exercise intervention improves cardiopulmonary function and reduces fatigue in breast cancer survivors across various treatment regimens.
