Abstract:

PURPOSE Female survivors of childhood cancer have a high risk of subsequent breast cancer. We describe the ensuing risk for mortality and additional breast cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Female participants in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, a cohort of 5-year survivors of cancer diagnosed between 1970 and 1986 before age 21 years, and subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer (n = 274; median age at breast cancer diagnosis, 38 years; range, 20 to 58 years) were matched to a control group (n = 1,095) with de novo breast cancer. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs were estimated from cause-specific proportional hazards models. RESULTS Ninety-two childhood cancer survivors died, 49 as a result of breast cancer. Overall survival after breast cancer was 73% by 10 years. Subsequent risk of death as a result of any cause was higher among childhood cancer survivors than among controls (HR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.7 to 3.0) and remained elevated after adjusting for breast cancer treatment (HR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.7 to 3.2). Although breast cancer–specific mortality was modestly elevated among childhood cancer survivors (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.9 to 2.0), survivors were five times more likely to die as a result of other health-related causes, including other subsequent malignant neoplasms and cardiovascular or pulmonary disease (HR, 5.5; 95% CI, 3.4 to 9.0). The cumulative incidence of a second asynchronous breast cancer also was elevated significantly compared with controls ( P < .001). CONCLUSION Mortality after breast cancer was higher in childhood cancer survivors than in women with de novo breast cancer. This increased mortality reflects the burden of comorbidity and highlights the need for risk-reducing interventions.

Abstract:

Women diagnosed with breast cancer have had a significant increase in life expectancy in recent years. However, many of these women are living with chronic complications resulting from treatment. It is common during and after the treatment of breast cancer, particularly at the trunk and upper limb (pain, movement disorders, among others). Physical therapy may play an important role in the immediate and late postoperative period of breast cancer surgery where it can be considered one of the main preventive agents for disorders after surgery. Physical therapy is considered an effective intervention for pain control, postural realignment and recovery of functional autonomy and is important at all stages of treatment, and helps overcome the side effects of breast cancer treatment.

Abstract:

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the US. It is estimated that more than 180,000 American women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2008. Fortunately, the survival rate is relatively high and continually increasing due to improved detection techniques and treatment methods. However, maintaining quality of life is a factor often under emphasized for breast cancer survivors. Breast cancer treatments are invasive and can lead to deformation of the breast. Breast reconstruction is important for restoring the survivor's appearance. However, more work is needed to develop technologies for quantifying surgical outcomes and understanding women's perceptions of changes in their appearance. A method for objectively measuring breast anatomy is needed in order to help both the breast cancer survivors and their surgeons take expected changes to the survivor's appearance into account when considering various treatment options. In the future, augmented reality tools could help surgeons reconstruct a survivor's breasts to match her preferences as much as possible.

Abstract:

This study investigated the role of breast cancer survivors in a computer-mediated social support (CMSS) group for women with breast cancer. Applying a computer-aided content analytic method, the present study examined the differences in support provision between survivors and newly diagnosed patients. This study further investigated the impacts of survivor-provided social support on psychosocial adjustment of newly diagnosed patients. The results revealed that, compared with newly diagnosed patients, breast cancer survivors provided more emotional and informational support. Receiving emotional support from survivors contributed to an improvement in the quality of life and the depression of patients. The effects of survivor-provided informational support were not significant.

Abstract:

Background: The continued increase in the number of cancer survivors is encouraging and credited to better prevention, screening, and treatment. Cancer care authorities call for survivorship follow-up focusing on surveillance, health behaviors, and lingering effects of treatment. Despite the recommendations, cancer centers struggle to provide cost-effective, time efficient, comprehensive programming to address this call. Objectives: The primary objectives of this quality improvement project were to (1) develop and pilot a shared survivorship visit for breast cancer survivors and (2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the program. Methods: The participants in this 4-week pilot project included five female breast cancer survivors, ages 18 and older, diagnosed with stage I, II, or III breast cancer within the past year. Each survivor completed a one-time, 2-hour shared survivorship visit. Results: The shared, interdisciplinary survivorship visit was directed by an advanced practice nurse. A team of nursing and ancillary experts presented information on their specialized area. Upon completion of the visit, the survivor received an individualized survivorship care plan. There were 21 eligible breast cancer survivors and 5 participants. The pilot was successfully implemented, acknowledged the feasibility, and identified the adaptability to other cancer survivors. An evaluation concluded that the APRN-led, shared survivorship visit model was accepted by the patients and the survivorship team. The shared survivorship visits will be implemented into the cancer care program to address the needs of breast cancer survivors. Furthermore, there will be an expansion of the shared survivorship visits to meet the needs of those with other types of cancers.

Abstract:

AbstractDiet may play an important role in breast cancer recurrence or survival, and therefore assessment of long-term diet among breast cancer survivors is important in breast cancer survivorship research. Given that the diet of breast cancer survivors may differ from that of the general population, the use of a FFQ specific to this group may be needed. The objective of this study was to develop a FFQ for breast cancer survivors, the most commonly used tool to measure long-term dietary patterns in nutritional epidemiological studies. We collected information on the foods and amounts of foods consumed using 3-d dietary records from a total of 192 women who had been diagnosed with stage I–III breast cancers and had undergone breast cancer surgery at least 6 months before the baseline study. A total of 1254 foods and dishes consumed were re-grouped by the similarity of the main ingredients and/or serving units, and several dishes commonly consumed among the Korean population were added. After we performed contribution analyses and variability analyses to detect between-person variation for selected nutrients, we listed a total of 123 foods and dishes for the FFQ specific to breast cancer survivors. Our breast cancer survivor-specific FFQ can be used to estimate long-term dietary intake and to examine its association with breast cancer prognosis in epidemiological studies of breast cancer in Korea.

Abstract:

In Australia, women with breast cancer comprise one of the largest groups of cancer survivors. As a consequence of this, and improved survival rates, the interest in programs to enhance the recovery of cancer survivors is growing. Exercise during and after treatment has been identified as a potential strategy to assist women throughout their treatment and positively influence the recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of breast cancer survivors. Through the use of an existing data source, this study investigated physical activity rates, explored the factors associated with low levels of physical activity participation, and assessed the relationship between levels of activity and HRQoL among women diagnosed with breast cancer. The population-based sample, obtained in 2002 was comprised of 287 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, residing in South-East Queensland. Women were followed-up (via subjective questionnaire and objective physical testing) every three months over a 12-month period, from six months post-diagnosis. Physical activity was assessed using the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) while HRQoL was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for breast cancer (FACTB+4). Based on National Physical Activity Guidelines, women were categorised as being sufficiently active, insufficiently active or sedentary at each of the five testing phases (specifically at 6-, 9-, 12-, 15- and 18-months post-diagnosis). Rates of participation in physical activity were relatively stable over the testing period. At 18 months post-diagnosis, 44%, 43% and 13% of women, respectively, were categorised as being sufficiently active, insufficiently active or sedentary. The sedentary or insufficiently active women were more likely to be older, obese or overweight, lack private health insurance, and have received both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, compared with sufficiently active women. Sedentary women consistently reported a lower HRQoL compared to active women (sufficiently or insufficiently active) over the 12-month testing period. This was especially apparent amongst the group of younger women (aged less than 50 years at diagnosis) (p=0.02). This work is among the first to explore physical activity rates specifically among Australian breast cancer survivors, and highlights the potential importance of participating in physical activity to optimise HRQoL during recovery from breast cancer. Specific attention to promote physical activity to the identified group of sedentary and insufficiently active survivors is of particular importance.

Abstract:

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a persistent and debilitating problem for many breast cancer survivors. Although many CRF measurement tools are available, no consensus exists on the most appropriate tool to use for breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this project was to identify the best method of assessing CRF in breast cancer survivors. The practice-focused question inquired about the most appropriate way to assess fatigue in breast cancer survivors. The central concepts of the project were CRF and cancer survivorship. This project was informed by the theory of health as expanding consciousness and Mishel's theory of uncertainty in illness. The sources of evidence included multi-database searches and literature from professional organizations. Results were tracked using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metasystems and a literature review matrix. The search identified 14 sources, which were assessed for quality using the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation process. The results of this systematic review did not support the use of any particular assessment tool; however, 2 clinical practice guidelines recommended screening using a numerical severity scale followed by detailed assessment of clinically significant fatigue using available assessment tools. Screening can be implemented into the survivorship clinic, allowing nurses to identify potentially clinically significant fatigue so that further workup is done and interventions are implemented. Identifying, assessing, and intervening for clinically significant fatigue can improve the quality of life for breast cancer survivors, contributing to positive social change.

Abstract:

Background: Trastuzumab, a HER2 antagonist, has been shown to improve rates of overall survival in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, cardiotoxic effects associated with treatment limits these benefits. Due to an increase in survival years, women with a history of HER2-positive breast cancer might be at increased risk of developing cardiotoxicity (i.e., LVEF < 55% with or without accompanying symptoms of heart failure) during survivorship. Exercise (“stress”) conditions is an established method to examine comprehensively impairments in cardiovascular function that may go undetected during resting conditions providing insight into the risk for future cardiac events. Purpose: We sought to assess cardiac and vascular function of HER2-positive breast cancer survivors at rest and under exercise conditions. Hypothesis: 1) At rest, vascular dysfunction would be evident in breast cancer survivors. 2) Exercise would reveal cardiac dysfunction in HER2-positive breast cancer survivors, which was not apparent under resting conditions. Methods: Eight HER2-positive breast cancer survivors and eight age-matched healthy controls underwent the following measures: 1) resting vascular function (Applanation tonometry, pulse wave velocity and baroreceptor sensitivity) and cardiac function (2D-echocardiography), 2) exercise haemodynamics (heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output) during an incremental exercise test, and 3) ventricular-vascular coupling (left ventricular elastance and arterial elastance) at rest and during incremental exercise. Results: At rest, there were no differences between groups in any echocardiographic measures. No differences were detected in vascular function, although baroreceptor sensitivity was reduced in the breast cancer group. Resting ventricular-vascular coupling was also similar between groups. With exercise, there was evidence of reduced left ventricular performance with a blunted response to increase left ventricular elastance. No differences were observed in arterial elastance or ventricular-vascular coupling. All haemodynamic responses were similar between groups. Conclusion: In HER2-positive breast cancer survivors there are indicators of impairments in cardiac function during exercise conditions, but limited differences during resting conditions. Exercise echocardiography may be clinically relevant for detecting impairments in left ventricular function in HER2-positive breast cancer survivors that appear to have normal cardiac function at rest.

Abstract:

Quality of life (QoL) in cancer survivors is an important area of research. While data are available about QoL and breast cancer, there is a paucity of research regarding older breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this research was to examine QoL in older women with early stage breast cancer, within the first year of post-treatment survivorship. The specific aims of this study were to: 1) Describe the changes in overall QoL and the four QoL domains of Physical, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual well-being; 2) Examine the effects of a psychoeducational support intervention on QoL outcomes in older women; and 3) Describe nurses' perceptions of their interactions with older breast cancer survivors. A descriptive, longitudinal design was used to answer the research questions. Data for this study were drawn from the Breast Cancer Education Intervention (BCEI), a longitudinal psychoeducational support intervention for women with early stage breast cancer. Fifty women from the BCEI who were 65 years of age and older were included in this sample, of whom 24 were assigned to the Experimental (EX) Group and 26 were assigned to the Wait Control (WC) Group. Data were collected at three time points: baseline, three months, and six months after study entry. Measurement tools included the BCEI Demographics Form, the Quality of Life-Breast Cancer Survey (QoL-BC), and field notes of the BCEI Research Nurses. The QoL-BC survey is a 50-item scale that measures QoL in women with breast cancer. Descriptive statistics, Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) methods and t-tests were used to answer research questions #1 and #2. Content analysis was used to answer research question #3. Subjects reported good overall QoL at baseline, but QoL declined over six months. Physical and Psychological well-being declined from baseline to six months later. Social well-being initially improved from baseline to three months but declined at six months. Spiritual well-being initially declined at three months and improved at six months. There was insufficient power to detect a difference in the effects of the BCEI Intervention between the two groups. However, the decline in overall QoL was less in the EX Group. Field notes focusing on nurses' perception of their interactions with older women revealed four themes. These themes include: continuing breast-related health, personal health issues, family health issues, and potential stressors. Results from this study suggest that: 1) changes in overall QoL and within the four QoL domains occur over time; 2) decline in overall QoL was lessened by the BCEI Intervention; and 3) concerns after treatment are both breast cancer and non-breast cancer related. Study findings can direct future research in the following areas: 1) identification of specific concerns within each QoL domain that could lead to an increase or decrease in well-being in older breast cancer survivors; 2) interventions tailored to the needs of older breast cancer survivors to maintain, improve, or lessen decline in QoL after treatment; and 3) reconceptualizing QoL in older breast cancer survivors to include non-cancer related factors.

Abstract:

Objective: The main aim of this study was to verify chronic and acute alterations in the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in breast cancer survivors undergoing a physical exercise program. Methodology: In a reference hospital for cancer treatment in the city of Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil, a total of 24 female breast cancer survivors, 56.8 (±7.7) years old, underwent a physical exercise program. Their blood pressure was supervised through digital blood pressure monitors for the wrist, before and after the exercise sessions. To make comparisons in each session — pre- and post-exercise — the paired sample t-test analysis was applied. For the chronic effect analyses, the analysis of variance for repeated measures (ANOVA RM) was used to identify the possible differences in SBP and DBP variables, pre-exercise, throughout the 15 training sessions. A significance level of 5% was considered. Results: Except for the fourth and sixth sessions, it was established that the SBP levels decreased in all sessions after they were completed (p≤0.05). For DBP, there was a significant decrease only after the first three exercise sessions. Regarding chronic effects, there was a mean reduction in SBP values at rest, throughout the sessions, with a hypotensive effect above 70% from the seventh session on (p≤0.05). Regarding DBP, differences in the DBP values at rest were enhanced from the tenth session onward, with a hypotensive effect above 94%. By comparing the beginning of the program with the last session, a difference in SBP and DBP, of -9.0 and -5.5 mmHg, respectively (p<0.01), was identified. Conclusion: Those survivors who joined the physical exercise program showed a chronic and acute decrease in both SBP and DBP levels.

Abstract:

"Breast cancer is a major concern in women’s health in Mainland China. Literatures demonstrates that women with breast cancer (WBC) need to pay much effort into resisting stigma and the impact of treatment side-effects; they suffer from overwhelming consequences due to bodily disfigurement and all these experiences will be unbeneficial for their mental and sexual health. However, related studies in this area are rare in China. The objectives of this study are 1) To understand WBC’s treatment experiences, 2) To understand what kinds of support should be contained in a transdisciplinary intervention framework (TIP) for Chinese WBC through the lens that is sensitive to gender, societal, cultural and practical experience. In this study, the feminist participatory action research (FPAR) approach containing the four cyclical processes of action research was adopted. WBC’s stories were collected through oral history, group materials such as drawings, theme songs, poetry, handicraft, storytelling, and public speech content; research team members and peer counselors were involved in the development of the model. This study revealed that WBC faces difficulties returning to the job market and discrimination, oppression and gender stereotypes are commonly found in the whole treatment process. WBC suffered from structural stigma, public stigma, and self-stigma. The research findings revealed that forming a critical timeline for intervention is essential, including stage 1: Stage of suspected breast cancer (SS), stage 2: Stage of diagnosis (SD), stage 3: Stage of treatment and prognosis (ST), and stage 4: Stage of rehabilitation and integration (SRI). Risk factors for coping with breast cancer are treatment side effects, changes to body image, fear of being stigmatized both in social networks and the job market, and lack of personal care during hospitalization. Protective factors for coping with breast cancer are the support of health professionals, spouses, and peers with the same experience, enhancing coping strategies, and reduction of symptom distress; all these are crucial to enhance resistance when fighting breast cancer. Benefit finding is crucial for WBC to rebuild their self-respect and identity. Collaboration is essential between 1) Health and medical care, 2) Medical social work, 3) Peer counselor network, and 4) self-help organization to form the TIF for quality care. The research findings are crucial for China Health Bureau to develop medical social services through a lens that is sensitive to gender, societal, cultural, and practical experiences of breast cancer survivors and their families."

Abstract:

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), obesity, and abdominal obesity during the first year after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods: This prospective observational study included women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer. Women aged ≥40 years, with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer, were included. The clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical analyses were performed. Women with three or more diagnostic criteria were considered with MetS as follows: waist circumference (WC) > 88 cm; triglycerides (TG) ≥150 mg/dL; high-density lipoprotein 30 kg/m2 and abdominal obesity with WC >88cm. The measurements were carried out in three moments: first medical assessment (T0m), six months (T6m), and 12 months later (T12m). All patients underwent the interdisciplinary assessment (i.e., nutritional and psychological) at T0m. For statistical analysis, the ANOVA with repeated measures and the chi-square test of trend were used. Results: A total of 72 women with breast cancer were included, with a mean age of 58.4±10.7 years. In the assessment of MetS, BMI, and WC, no difference was observed in the occurrence between the three moments. When comparing the individual metabolic syndrome criteria between the three moments, there was only a statistical difference in the TG and glycemia criteria. The analysis of blood glucose showed a decrease in mean values, with a value of 106.6 mg/dL-T0m, 100.46 mg/dL-T6m, and 98.96 mg/dL-T12m (p=0.004). Regarding TG, an increase in mean values was observed, with a value of 121 mg/dL-T0m, 139.4 mg/dL-T6m, and 148.46 mg/dL-T12m (p=0.003). No cancer treatment showed an impact on the measured criteria. Conclusion: The interdisciplinary approach on the breast cancer survivors demonstrated a positive impact on the control of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and abdominal obesity on the first year of follow-up. Additionally, glycemic indices showed a significant decrease, but an increase in TG values was observed.

Abstract:

The economic burden of breast cancer for women under 50 in the United States remains largely unexplored, in part because young women make up a small proportion of breast cancer cases overall. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a web-based survey to compare data from breast cancer survivors 18–39 years of age at first diagnosis and 40–49 years of age at first diagnosis. We administered a survey to a national convenience sample of 416 women who were 18–49 years of age at the time of their breast cancer diagnosis. We analyzed factors associated with financial decline using multivariate regression. Survivors 18–39 years of age at first diagnosis were more likely to report Stage II–IV breast cancer (P<0.01). They also quit their jobs more often (14.6%) than older survivors (4.4%; P<0.01) and faced more job performance issues (55.7% and 42.8%, respectively; P=0.02). For respondents in both groups, financial decline was more likely if the survivor had at least one comorbid condition (odds ratios: 2.36–3.21) or was diagnosed at Stage II–IV breast cancer (odds ratios: 2.04–3.51).
