Home-based physical activity interventions for breast cancer patients receiving primary therapy: a systematic review.
Steven Scott CoughlinLee S CaplanValerie WilliamsPublished in: Breast cancer research and treatment (2019)
Results from studies published to date indicate that among women receiving primary breast cancer therapy, home-based physical activity programs have positive effects on physical functioning and symptoms such as fatigue. Among women receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy, home-based physical activity programs are effective in reducing symptoms and improving physical functioning. Additional studies are needed to clarify the impact of home-based physical therapy interventions on other outcomes including quality-of-life, bone mineral density, cognitive functioning, and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
