Trial summary

Many breast cancer patients (BCP) will gain weight during chemotherapy and about 10% of them are able to find back to their initial weight after all treatments are finished. Other studies have shown that overweight at diagnosis was associated to a twice higher risk of relapse while a weight gain during treatments… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Post Therapeutic Support and Rehabilitation Protocol in Hydrothermal Centers for Breast Cancer Patients in Complete Remission: a Multicenter Prospective Randomized Trial Testing the Intervention Versus Best Supportive Care

Many breast cancer patients (BCP) will gain weight during chemotherapy and about 10% of them are able to find back to their initial weight after all treatments are finished. Other studies have shown that overweight at diagnosis was associated to a twice higher risk of relapse while a weight gain during treatments increased by 30% to 50% the risk of relapse. In western countries, 75% of BCP have insufficient physical activity. Dietary and activity programs seem to be able to significantly reduce the mortality risk after breast cancer.

The investigators performed a prospective randomized trial consisting in dietary counseling, physical training and physiotherapy in hydrothermal centers. Intervention were delivered in small group session lasting 12 days. SPA cares were offered to patients. Patients in the control group also received dietary counseling given by a dietetician inside anticancer hospital, and were asked to perform more physical activities. Main endpoints of the trial addressed quality of life (SF36) one year after inclusion, weight reduction, anxiety/depression (HAD), sleep quality and long term compliance to instructions. An economic study was associated to the protocol, for volunteers only.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of life (SF36)

    Quality of life was measured with the SF36 questionnaire before randomization, at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months. The difference at one year was the main endpoint.

    Measured: one year after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anxiety/depression scores (HAD)

    HAD questionnaire is a validated instrument that complete the SF36 QoL questionnaire.

    Measured: inclusion, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months

  2. Weight and morphometric measures

    Weight(kg), impedancemetry, hip/waist circumference are needed to characterize eventual weight changes in both allocation groups

    Measured: inclusion, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months

  3. Sleep quality

    6 questions are asked: it rates the delay before sleep onset, the lenght of sleep, the number of awakening, the lenght of wake periods during the night, the concentration/alertness after sleep, and the fatigue in the morning.

    Measured: inclusion, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months

  4. economic figures

    health related costs, health insurance costs, social costs

    Measured: during 2 years after inclusion
