Abstract P1-10-08: Effect of a Structured Group Intervention on Obesity in Breast Cancer Survivors
Cancer research(2016)
摘要
Abstract Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and poor outcomes. Endocrine therapy, including aromatase inhibitors (AI) is a key part of adjuvant treatment. However, it may produce some side effects, including musculoskeletal pain and weight gain.This study aimed to examine the effect of a structured group intervention for breast cancer patients with obesity and abnormal lipid metabolism during adjuvant endocrine therapy. Methods: The subjects were 32 breast cancer survivors with obesity who were undergoing endocrine therapy (AI or tamoxifen) and had undergone surgery at least 12 months before enrollment. Median age was 51 years (range 37-67). We performed a single-arm pre-post study of combined interventions. The intervention consisted of 15 minutes of nutrition education delivered by a registered dietitian, a 30-minute group health coaching program by a coaching staff, and a 45-minute group aerobic exercise. Before and after the intervention, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference, triceps skinfold, liver enzyme levels (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), total cholesterol (CHO) level, and triglyceride (TG) level were determined and compared. We also compared the results of the Japanese version of K6, Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), and Self-efficacy Scale for Cancer Patients (SES) before and after intervention.These weekly structured interventions were held in 3 consecutive weeks. Participants were asked to practice to exercise at home with a DVD, performing the same activities. Pre- and post-intervention data were compared by using paired t tests with IBM SPSS version 21. Results: Significant decreases were found in BW(p < 0.01), BMI (p < 0.01), TG level (p < 0.05), CHO level (p < 0.01), K6 result (p < 0.05), and CFS result (p < 0.01). In contrast, no statistically significant change at the 5% level was observed in the mid-upper arm circumference, triceps skinfold, AST level, ALT level, and SES result.

Further studies with more participants and with a control group are needed to demonstrate the long-term effects of the structured intervention, particularly its possible impact on breast cancer prognosis.
