Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients are able to participate in a so
called prehabilitation program (prior to the beginning of cancer treatment) which includes
(1) a supervised and home-based exercise program plus one educational session or (2) just
home-based exercise plus one educational session or (3) just one educational session.
Breast cancer surgery may have potential for several side effects, including functional (e.g.
flexibility in the affected arm, lymphedema [swelling that generally occurs in the arms or
legs that occurs as a result of the removal of or damage to lymph nodes as a part of cancer
treatment], shoulder pain) and psychosocial (e.g. reduced quality of life, increased fatigue)
aspects.
Evidence shows that exercise is considered to be an effective treatment approach in breast
cancer patients during and after treatment with regard to the above mentioned side-effects.
Also, prehabilitative exercise in colon and lung cancer patients was shown as feasible and
effective. However, no experience exits with regard to prehabilitation exercise in breast
cancer patients.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Safety of the exercise intervention (assessed by standardized questionnaire) | Within the questionnaire we will assess whether musculoskeletal occur (yes/no; ongoing; location; severity (mild-life threatening); daily activities affected). The intervention will be considered as safe if less than 25% of included patients report mild musculoskeletal impairments and less than 5% experienced musculoskeletal injuries (defined as symptoms lasting a week or longer and or requiring the attention of a medical professional). | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks | |
Primary | Feasibility of the exercise intervention (assessed via exercise logs) | The exercise intervention will be considered feasible if 50% of included patients actually do at least half of the exercise sessions prescribed for 2 weeks or more. | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks | |
Primary | Acceptability of the exercise intervention (assessed via patient flow diagram) | The intervention will be considered acceptable if more than 50% of the patients randomized to the control group agree to receive at least the first exercise session. | During Recruitment till first intervention is delivered (with one week after enrolment) | |
Secondary | Health-Related Quality of Life: EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0 | QoL will be assessed with the validated 30-item self-assessment questionnaire of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0). | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Breast cancer-related symptoms and quality of Life | In addition to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 specific breast cancer-related symptoms will be assessed with the validated 23-item breast cancer specific module (EORTC QLQ-BR23). It will assess common problems of breast cancer patients, e.g. with the affected breast or arm | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Fatigue | Fatigue will be assessed with the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) which is a 20-item, multidimensional self-assessment questionnaire. | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Sleep | Sleep quality and sleep problems will be assessed with the validated and frequently used Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Depression | Depressive symptoms will be assessed with the 20-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Shoulder Problems | The Penn Shoulder Score (PSS) is a 100-point shoulder-specific self-report questionnaire consisting of 3 subscales of pain, satisfaction, and function. | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Physical activity behavior | Physical activity behavior in the domains of commuting activity, leisure time activities such as cycling, walking, and sports, household and occupational activity will be assessed via a standardized and validated questionnaire, the Short QUestionnaire to ASsess Health-enhancing Physical Activity | Through study intervention, an average of 3 weeks; 6 weeks after surgery; and after the end of primary treatment, an average of 6 month after surgery | |
Secondary | Symptoms | The revised Edmonton symptom assessment scale is a 10-item patient-rated symptom visual numeric scale developed for use in assessing symptoms of patients receiving palliative care/cancer treatment. | Weekly from baseline to 6 weeks after Surgery |
