Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer patients often face significant side effects from treatment, including reduced muscle strength and quality of life, but exercise, particularly resistance training, has shown positive outcomes.
  • A study involved 40 patients undergoing chemotherapy, with half participating in a high-intensity resistance training program while the other half received standard care.
  • Results indicated that those who engaged in the resistance training saw significant improvements in strength and quality of life, suggesting that tailored exercise programs should be further explored in future research.

Introduction: This pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of using an app-based certified medical product named PINK! on breast cancer patients and survivors. The objectives were to measure psychological distress, physical activity, and therapy-related fatigue of patients using PINK! to identify trends and develop a study design for a subsequent multicentric proof of efficacy RCT.

Materials And Methods: PINK! offers individualized, evidence-based therapy and side-effect management, mindfulness-based stress reduction, nutritional and psychological education, physical activity tracking, and motivational exercises to implement lifestyle changes sustainably in daily routine.

Background: For cancer patients, cardiovascular complications as a consequence of certain oncological therapies are the leading cause of death, apart from the cancer itself. Currently, there are no uniform guidelines for detecting subclinical cardiotoxicity. Hence, the identification of cardiotoxicity arises late in the course of myocardial dysfunction after cardiac damage has occurred already.

Oncological treatments can lead to acute and chronic cancer related toxicities. In recent years, a large number of clinical studies have reported positive effects of exercise to the bio-psycho-social regeneration of cancer patients. However, very few evidence-based programs have been implemented into practice with little opportunity for cancer patients to engage in such programs.
