Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how fatigue in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients is related to weekly changes in body composition during radiotherapy, using assessments at multiple time points (T0-T7).
- - Results show that fatigue peaked around the fifth week, with significant body composition changes starting as early as the second week; weight and other body composition measures were positively linked to fatigue levels.
- - The findings suggest that monitoring weight and body composition loss can help independently assess fatigue development in NPC patients, particularly in those with specific demographic and treatment-related factors.
Background: The health-related physical fitness of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma can decrease significantly during radiotherapy, which can adversely affect their quality of life.
Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the potential influence of a multimodal exercise program on the health-related physical fitness and quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during radiotherapy.
Methods: Forty patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from May to November 2019 were included.
Problem Identification: The aim of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
Literature Search: Relevant English and Chinese articles were retrieved from medical databases and included in this analysis. Standardized critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute were adopted for the quality assessment.
Aim And Objectives: This systematic review evaluated evidence quality for exercise intervention in patients with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) during chemoradiotherapy to provide evidence-based clinical guidance.
Background: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy. There is mounting evidence suggests exercise can relieve CRF and clinical practice guidelines for its management have been published in several countries.
