This study focuses on piloting a cancer rehabilitation program for cancer survivors (18-70 years of age), conducted in primary health care in a Norwegian municipality. In Norway, more than 70 % of all cancer patients will be long time survivors. However, research documents that cancer survivors are
Investigation of the Factors of Hand-Grip Strength-related Upper Extremity Functionality in Breast Cancer Survivors
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer type in women globally. In the United States, there are almost 3 million breast cancer cases and this number gradually increasing in recent
Background:
Pulmonary Sarcoidosis (PS) is defined as a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause affecting different vital organs, especially the lungs . The pathogenesis is complex and a single immunologic reaction and modulation of one cytokine is unlikely to resolve all aspects of the
Background:
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease of unknown cause with a median survival of 3-5 years (Raghu et al. 2011). As the disease progresses, worsening of lung function and gas exchange impairment cause hypoxemia during physical activity leading to a
In this study, 304 eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to a 12-week exercise intervention program versus observation, and stratified by two factors: received adjuvant chemotherapy versus not, and age<50 versus age ≥50 years.
Breast cancer and its treatment can have both physical and
Over 180,000 diagnoses of invasive breast cancer are made in the US each year. Over one‐third of women with early stage and over half with late‐stage breast cancer are treated with mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) due to tumor size, multiple cancers within the breast, genetic cancer
The MoveMama Project includes two protocols: (1) Dance and (2) Pilates. Each session for each modality will last 60 minutes, three times a week, for 16 weeks.
In both groups, a chart of patient evolution will be developed during the protocol, which should be updated every week by the researchers
This is a randomized study comparing lymphovenous anastomosis versus conservative (compression) treatment for lymphoedema after breast cancer surgery - 50 patients to be included in each study arm. The primary endpoint is volume change measured by submersion and changes in arm circumference at
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the risk of developing lymphedema, defined as a 10% difference in volume between the affected and unaffected arm, within 24 months of regional nodal irradiation (RNI) between patients assigned to short versus standard RNI.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the
Lymphedema (LE) is a potential complication of primary breast cancer treatment and the influence of LE on the quality of life is well-established. To date there is no established treatment that can reverse lymphedema. Patients are dependent on compression garments and manual lymphatic drainage to
Participants and settings:
- Patients with lung, breast, head & neck, colorectal or gynaecological cancer receiving taxanes or platinum-derivative chemotherapy experiencing CIPN after the end of cycle one will be the population of the study. The study will take place in a large cancer centre in the
Lymphedema is a well known and much dreaded complication after breast cancer surgery. The aim in this study is to examine if lymphedema can be prevented with early progressive strength training focusing on the arm, and close monitoring of pre clinical lymphedema in the 1 year exercise period. The
This study has two sub research: a quantitative approach and a qualitative approach. The research will be carried out by a multicenter way
Quantitative approach consist in carried out a single-blind randomized controlled trial of 44 women with arm lymphedema. Patients will be distributed in two
