Associations of pre-diagnosis physical activity with treatment tolerance and treatment efficacy in breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy

CONCLUSIONS: Although small sample size and limited information on exercise closer to time of diagnosis limit interpretation, pre-diagnosis PA was not convincingly associated with treatment tolerance or treatment efficacy in BCa patients receiving NACT. Future investigations are needed to better understand the impact of pre-diagnosis PA on BCa treatment.PMID:38564089 | DOI:10.1007/s12282-024-01569-3
