Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Fatigue is one of the most common side effects of people with cancer. The range of people with cancer who experience fatigue is 70-80%, when undergoing cancer treatment and during the phase before and after treatment. This systematic review aims to identify fatigue management with non-pharmacological intervention. The journals selected from 2015 to 2020 in an international database: Pubmed, SAGE journals, Microsoft Academic, and Science Direct. The database searched using the keywords "exercise treatment" OR "psychological treatment," AND "fatigue" OR "cancer-related fatigue," AND "during cancer treatment" OR "after cancer treatment." Assessment of Critical quality appraisal uses tools from the JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) critical assessment checklist. The method of analysis used the descriptive method. The results of the Systematic review found 13 journals that met the inclusion criteria, the total sample was 1365 respondents with an average age of 56.85, and the consequences of female respondents were 857 respondents, and male respondents were 464 respondents. Physical treatment and psychological treatment can reduce cancer fatigue before and after treatment. The interventions given both physical treatment and psychological treatment have their benefits and vary in their effectiveness.

AimTo assess the relative effects of different types of exercise and other non-pharmaceutical interventions on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients during and after cancer treatment.DesignSystematic review and indirect-comparisons meta-analysis.Data sourcesArticles were searched in PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL and published meta-analyses.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesRandomised studies published up to January 2017 evaluating different types of exercise or other non-pharmaceutical interventions to reduce CRF in any cancer type during or after treatment.Study appraisal and synthesisRisk of bias assessment with PEDro criteria and random effects Bayesian network meta-analysis.ResultsWe included 245 studies. Comparing the treatments with usual care during cancer treatment, relaxation exercise was the highest ranked intervention with a standardisedmean difference (SMD) of −0.77 (95% Credible Interval (CrI) −1.22 to −0.31), while massage (−0.78; −1.55 to −0.01), cognitive–behavioural therapy combined with physical activity (combined CBT, −0.72; −1.34 to −0.09), combined aerobic and resistance training (−0.67; −1.01 to −0.34), resistance training (−0.53; −1.02 to −0.03), aerobic (−0.53; −0.80 to −0.26) and yoga (−0.51; −1.01 to 0.00) all had moderate-to-large SMDs. After cancer treatment, yoga showed the highest effect (−0.68; −0.93 to −0.43). Combined aerobic and resistance training (−0.50; −0.66 to −0.34), combined CBT (−0.45; −0.70 to −0.21), Tai-Chi (−0.45; −0.84 to −0.06), CBT (−0.42; −0.58 to −0.25), resistance training (−0.35; −0.62 to −0.08) and aerobic (−0.33; −0.51 to −0.16) showed all small-to-moderate SMDs.ConclusionsPatients can choose among different effective types of exercise and non-pharmaceutical interventions to reduce CRF.

Substantial Heterogeneity

Physical activity (PA) is recommended for the management of cancer-related fatigue (CRF), yet the evidence is primarily based on interventions delivered during cancer treatment, with no eligibility criterion for fatigue. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate the effect of PA on CRF after cancer treatment (i.e. post-cancer fatigue), using randomized trials where fatigue was an eligibility criterion. Data from 19 eligible studies were extracted by two reviewers. An estimated 7% of all trials on PA for CRF include an eligibility criterion for fatigue after cancer treatment. Sixteen studies were included in a random-effects meta-analysis. Based on studies with substantial heterogeneity and high risk of bias, the effect of PA on post-cancer fatigue was modest and variable (Hedge’s g -0.40; p = 0.010; 95% prediction intervals -1.41 to 0.62). Additional transparently reported randomized clinical trials are needed to better understand the benefits of PA for post-cancer fatigue.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the early acute side effects following radiation and chemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), namely: to ascertain main patient complaints; to investigate saliva properties and to determine the microecology of the oral cavity in patient with HNC before and after radiation and chemotherapy. Eighteen patients with HNC which were prescribed gamma therapy on two buccal submandibular fields combined with close-focus roentgenotherapy and methotrexate as a cytostatic were examined. It was established that 3 weeks after the radio- and chemotherapy 100 % of patients pointed at xerostomia, dysgeusia, disturbances during speech, burning, pricking and itching in oral cavity. After cancer treatment the speed of salivation decreased two times and pH was 15 % lower than before radio and chemotherapy. Anti-cancer treatment caused significant decrease of lysozyme level (34 % lower) and secretory immunoglobulin A (1,5 times lower) in patients with HNC. After radio and chemotherapy different fungi of Candida genus from oral cavity were inoculated in high concentrations (from 4,0 ± 0.07 to 6,9 ± 0.07 lg CFU/ml), such as С. Аlbicans, C. Kruzei, С. Tropicalis, C. Stellatoidea.Thus significant negative changes from the side of speed and character of salivation, decrease of saliva pH, depression of both non-specific and specific components of immune defense and high contamination of oral mucosa with fungi of Candida genus considerably worsenpost-cancer rehabilitation.
