Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients are able to participate in a so called prehabilitation program (prior to the beginning of cancer treatment) which includes (1) a supervised and home-based exercise program plus one educational session or (2) just home-based exercise plus one educational session or (3) just one educational session.
Breast cancer surgery may have potential for several side effects, including functional (e.g. flexibility in the affected arm, lymphedema [swelling that generally occurs in the arms or legs that occurs as a result of the removal of or damage to lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment], shoulder pain) and psychosocial (e.g. reduced quality of life, increased fatigue) aspects.
Evidence shows that exercise is considered to be an effective treatment approach in breast cancer patients during and after treatment with regard to the above mentioned side-effects. Also, prehabilitative exercise in colon and lung cancer patients was shown as feasible and effective. However, no experience exits with regard to prehabilitation exercise in breast cancer patients.

Experimental: Partly Supervised Prehabilitation
Will be offered an initial one week (5 days for 3 hours each) supervised exercise prehabilitation program including a two hour group-based prehabilitation class at Penn State Rehabilitation Hospital, Hummelstown. The following weeks till surgery the learned exercise program should be done home-based for 5 times a week. A weekly phone call during this period will help to support and adapt the exercise program.
Active Comparator: Home-based Prehabilitation
Will be offered an individual one-on-one appointment for an exercise introduction session with an exercise and cancer specialist and weekly phone calls to support and adapt the exercise program. The exercises should be done home-based for 5 times a week until the time of surgery. Furthermore, a two hour group-based prehabilitation class at the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute will be offered.
Active Comparator: Control Group
Will be offered a two hour group-based prehabilitation class at the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute.
No Intervention: Comparison group- women too active
Added comparison group: Women who are ineligible on the basis of 'engaging in systematic intense exercise training (at least 1h twice a week) will be recruited to complete measures only, with no randomization

Resultaat

Primaire uitkomstmaten

1. Safety of the exercise intervention (assessed by standardized questionnaire) [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks]

Within the questionnaire we will assess whether musculoskeletal occur (yes/no; ongoing; location; severity (mild-life threatening); daily activities affected). The intervention will be considered as safe if less than 25% of included patients report mild musculoskeletal impairments and less than 5% experienced musculoskeletal injuries (defined as symptoms lasting a week or longer and or requiring the attention of a medical professional).

2. Feasibility of the exercise intervention (assessed via exercise logs) [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks]

The exercise intervention will be considered feasible if 50% of included patients actually do at least half of the exercise sessions prescribed for 2 weeks or more.

3. Acceptability of the exercise intervention (assessed via patient flow diagram) [During Recruitment till first intervention is delivered (with one week after enrolment)]

The intervention will be considered acceptable if more than 50% of the patients randomized to the control group agree to receive at least the first exercise session.

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

1. Health-Related Quality of Life: EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0 [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

QoL will be assessed with the validated 30-item self-assessment questionnaire of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0).

2. Breast cancer-related symptoms and quality of Life [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

In addition to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 specific breast cancer-related symptoms will be assessed with the validated 23-item breast cancer specific module (EORTC QLQ-BR23). It will assess common problems of breast cancer patients, e.g. with the affected breast or arm

3. Fatigue [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

Fatigue will be assessed with the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) which is a 20-item, multidimensional self-assessment questionnaire.

4. Sleep [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

Sleep quality and sleep problems will be assessed with the validated and frequently used Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

5. Depression [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

Depressive symptoms will be assessed with the 20-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).

6. Shoulder Problems [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

The Penn Shoulder Score (PSS) is a 100-point shoulder-specific self-report questionnaire consisting of 3 subscales of pain, satisfaction, and function.

7. Physical activity behavior [Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery]

Physical activity behavior in the domains of commuting activity, leisure time activities such as cycling, walking, and sports, household and occupational activity will be assessed via a standardized and validated questionnaire, the Short QUestionnaire to ASsess Health-enhancing Physical Activity

8. Symptoms [Weekly from baseline to 6 weeks after Surgery]

The revised Edmonton symptom assessment scale is a 10-item patient-rated symptom visual numeric scale developed for use in assessing symptoms of patients receiving palliative care/cancer treatment.
