We conducted an objective and instrumental examination in 64 patients who underwent radical surgical treatment of breast cancer (breast cancer) at an early stage (24 days) after surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups by simple randomization: the 1st group of patients received a course of general magnetic therapy, the 2nd group received a placebo procedure. Patients who received general magnetic therapy showed improvement in quality of life, reducing the intensity, duration, frequency and radiation of pain; decrease in the circumference of the upper limb from the surgical treatment; a decrease in the manifestations of the syndrome of inflammation, improve microcirculation from the surgical treatment, and also on reducing venous stasis and muscular-tonic syndrome of shoulder region. Thus, the use of general magnetic therapy is advisable to use in the early stages (24 days) after surgical treatment for breast cancer.

Objective to develop and compare the effectiveness of General magnetic therapy and intermittent pneumocompression in combination with physical therapy and balance therapy, classes with a medical psychologist in patients on day 24 and 1.52 months after surgical treatment for breast cancer (breast cancer). Material and methods. 117 patients aged 25 to 70 years were examined and treated after surgical treatment for breast cancer. All patients underwent intermittent pneumocompression at different times after surgery (24 days and 1.52 months after surgery), followed by General magnetic therapy without interruption. Results. It was found that this combination of methods of physical rehabilitation helped to reduce pain and postoperative edema, increase the volume of movements in the shoulder joint, prevent the development of severe lymphostasis and improve the quality of life. Сonclusion. The contribution of General magnetic therapy to the complex of rehabilitation measures is primarily to increase the number of lymphatic collaterals, increase tissue oxygenation and anti-inflammatory effect. Intermittent pneumocompression contribute to the increase in the number of lymphatic collaterals, stimulates lymph flow.

Background. Rehabilitation of patients after radical treatment of breast cancer is especially relevant due to the fact that successes in diagnostics and treatment of this disease in recent years have led to an increase in the life expectancy of female patients. Aim. to compare the efficiency of various methods of low-frequency low-intensity magnetotherapy in patients operated on for breast cancer, in the early terms (24 days) after surgery. Methods. Objective and instrumental examination was performed in 78 patients after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer in the early stages (24 days) after surgery. All patients received a course of low-frequency low-intensity magnetotherapy. Results. When applying the extended technique (the effect on the segmental-reflex region and upper limb from the side of the surgery), patients noted an improvement in the quality of life, a decrease in swelling of the upper limb, and a decrease in pain syndrome. A decrease in the number of postoperative complications and the duration of lymphorrhea was noted. Conclusion. Thus, the use of various methods of low-frequency low-intensity magnetotherapy is advisable to use in the early terms (24 days) after surgical treatment, however, the use of the advanced technique provides high function capabilities and enables to get a more pronounced and lasting clinical result.

Magnetic Therapy

Background: Various methods of physical therapy are widely used in the rehabilitation of patients with cancer (magnetotherapy, pneumocompression, electrotherapy, laser therapy). The goal of such rehabilitation is to minimize side effects and complications after radical treatment. However, a staged approach to the appointment of physiotherapeutic factors in the early period after surgical treatment of breast cancer has not been developed enough. Aim: To develop a staged approach to the appointment of physiotherapeutic factors at different times after surgical treatment of breast cancer. Design: a randomized-placebo-controlled study. Location: the clinic named after professor Yu. N. Kasatkin of the Russian Medical Academy of Continuing Professional Education of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Moscow. Population: Examination and treatment of 78 patients aged 30-70 after surgery for breast cancer were performed. The main group of 39 patients underwent a 2-stage course of medical rehabilitation: the first course on days 2-4 after surgery and the second course after 1-1.5 months against the background of adjuvated radiation therapy. The control group of 39 patients underwent physiotherapy placebo procedures. Methods: All the patients underwent medical rehabilitation: individual exercise therapy, balance-therapy, sessions with a medical psychologist, course exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field and general magnetic therapy. Results: two-stage physical rehabilitation improves the quality of life, decreases swelling, increases the range of motion, decreases pain, decreases the number of postoperative complications, and shortens the duration of lymphorrhea. Conclusions: It is advisable to include general magnetic therapy procedures and exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field in combination with physiotherapy exercises, balance-therapy and individual lessons from a medical psychologist in rehabilitation courses. Clinical Rehabilitation Impact: Prescribing two courses of medical rehabilitation after breast cancer surgeries in the early stages (on days 2-4) and 1-1.5 months after surgery contributed to a decrease in pain and postoperative edema, and an increase in the range of motion in the shoulder joint, preventing severe lymphostasis and improving the quality of life.

Abstract Background More than 50% cognitive impairment was reported by cancer patients before and after medical treatment. However, there are no effective interventions to manage the cognitive problem in women with breast cancer. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of Baduanjin exercise on cognitive function and cancer-related symptoms in women with early-stage breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Method A single-blinded, randomized control trial was designed. The trial will recruit 70 patients with early-stage breast cancer scheduled to receive chemotherapy from Shanghai in China. All participants will be randomly assigned to (1:1) the supervised Baduanjin group (5 times/week, 30 min each time) or the wait-list control group for 3 months. The effect of Baduanjin exercise intervention will be evaluated by outcome measures including subjective and objective cognitive function, symptoms (fatigue, depression, and anxiety), and health-related quality of life at pre-intervention (T0), 8 weeks (T1), and 12 weeks (T2). The PCI score in the FACT-Cog as the primary cognitive outcome will be reported descriptively, while effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be calculated. The collected data will be analyzed by using an intention-to-treat principle and linear mixed-effects modeling. Discussion This is the first randomized clinical trial to investigate whether Baduanjin exercise will have a positive role in improving cognitive function in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. If possible, Baduanjin exercise will be a potential non-pharmacological intervention to manage cognitive dysfunction and promote survivorship care among breast cancer survivors.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to measure health-related quality of life (QOL) among patients with early stage cancer breast under curative treatment at department of oncology and nuclear medicine at Ain Shams University Hospitals. Identify factors affecting QOL among these patients. Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional study measured QOL among early stage female breast cancer (BC) patients and determined the main factors affecting their QOL. Three interviewer administered questionnaires were used. Findings – The physical domain mostly affected in BC patients and the functional domain least. Socio-demographic factors that significantly affected BC patients QOL scores were patient age, education, having children and family income. Specific patient characteristics include caregiver presence – a factor that affected different QOL scores. Age at diagnosis, affection in the side of the predominant hand, post-operative chemotherapy and difficulty in obtaining the medication were the disease-related factors that affected QOL scores. Originality/value – The final model predicting QOL for early stage female BC patients included age, education and difficulty in obtaining the medication as determinants for total QOL score. Carer presence was the specific patient characteristic that affected different QOL scores.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate and compare health-related quality of life (HRQL) of women with early-stage breast cancer (BC) treated with different radiotherapy (RT) regimens. Methods Data were collected from five prospective cohorts of BC patients treated with breast-conserving surgery and different RT regimens: intraoperative RT (IORT, 1 × 23.3 Gy; n = 267), external beam accelerated partial breast irradiation (EB-APBI, 10 × 3.85 Gy; n = 206), hypofractionated whole breast irradiation(hypo-WBI, 16 × 2.67 Gy; n = 375), hypo-WBI + boost(hypo-WBI-B, 21–26 × 2.67 Gy; n = 189), and simultaneous WBI + boost(WBI-B, 28 × 2.3 Gy; n = 475). Women ≥ 60 years with invasive/in situ carcinoma ≤ 30 mm, cN0 and pN0-1a were included. Validated EORTC QLQ-C30/BR23 questionnaires were used to asses HRQL. Multivariable linear regression models adjusted for confounding (age, comorbidity, pT, locoregional treatment, systemic therapy) were used to compare the impact of the RT regimens on HRQL at 12 and 24 months. Differences in HRQL over time (3–24 months) were evaluated using linear mixed models. Results There were no significant differences in HRQL at 12 months between groups except for breast symptoms which were better after IORT and EB-APBI compared to hypo-WBI at 12 months (p < 0.001). Over time, breast symptoms, fatigue, global health status and role functioning were significantly better after IORT and EB-APBI than hypo-WBI. At 24 months, HRQL was comparable in all groups. Conclusion In women with early-stage breast cancer, the radiotherapy regimen did not substantially influence long-term HRQL with the exception of breast symptoms. Breast symptoms are more common after WBI than after IORT or EB-APBI and improve slowly until no significant difference remains at 2 years posttreatment.
