What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01064427
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Chemotherapy groupBreast cancer patients treated by adjuvant chemotherapy after their surgery. The time points of data collection are before the start of the first, second, fourth and sixth cycle of chemotherapy. If patients are treated by radiotherapy after the chemotherapy, there are 2 measurements points pre- and post radiotherapy.The others measurement points are at 12,18 and 24 months after surgery.
No chemotherapy groupBreast cancer patients no treated by adjuvant chemotherapy after their surgery. For patients treated by radiotherapy after surgery, there are 2 measurement points pre- and post radiotherapy. The others measurement points are at 4,6,7,8,12,18 and 24 months after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) questionnaire is used to assess patient's fatigue.

    Measured: Breast cancer patients complete the questionnaires before surgery and at several times depending on their adjuvant treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Questionnaires regarding personality traits (LOT "Life Orientation Test" and the trait-version of the STAI "State Trait Anxiety instrument"), Quality of life questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30), and the state-version of the STAI will be also completed.

    Measured: For the LOT and the trait-version of the STAI: only before the surgery, for the QLQ-C30: before surgery and several times during adjuvant treatment and for the state-version of the STAI: several times during adjuvant treatment
