Effectiveness of a Global Multidisciplinary Supportive and Educational Intervention in Thermal Resort on Anthropometric and Biological Parameters, and the Disease-Free Survival after Breast Cancer Treatment Completion (PACThe).

Effectiveness of a Global Multidisciplinary Supportive and Educational Intervention in Thermal Resort on Anthropometric and Biological Parameters, and the Disease-Free Survival after Breast Cancer Treatment Completion (PACThe). J Oncol. 2020;2020:4181850 Authors: Vasson MP, Kwiatkowski F, Rossary A, Jouvency S, Mouret-Reynier MA, Duclos M, Van Praagh-Doreau I, Travade A, Bignon YJ Abstract A growing knowledge highlights the strong benefit of regular physical activity in the management of breast cancer patients, but few studies have considered biological parameters in their outcomes. In the prospective randomised trial after breast cancer treatment completion "PACThe," we determined the effects of physical activity and nutritional intervention on the biological and anthropometric status of patients after one year of follow-up, and clarified the link between biomarkers at allocation and disease-free survival. 113 patients from the population of the "PACThe" study (n = 251) were analysed for biological parameters. Patients were randomized after chemotherapy in two arms: the intervention "SPA" receiving a 2-week session of physical training, dietary education, and physiotherapy (n = 57), and the control "CTR" (n = 56). Diet questionnaire, anthropometric measures, and blood parameters were determined at allocation and one year later. Survival and recurrence were checked over 7 years. Data were considered as a function of BMI, ...
