Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of unilateral arm lymphoedema after breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: It is suggested that more than one in five women who survive breast cancer will develop arm lymphoedema and a clear need exists for improved understanding of contributing risk factors, as well as of prevention and management strategies to reduce the individual and public health burden of this disabling and distressing disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise for health: a randomized, controlled trial evaluating the impact of a pragmatic, translational exercise intervention on the quality of life, function and treatment-related side effects following breast cancer
Sandra C. Hayes,Sheree Rye,Tracey DiSipio,Patsy Yates,John Bashford,Chris Pyke,Christobel Saunders,Diana Battistutta,Elizabeth G. Eakin +8 more
TL;DR: This translational intervention trial supports exercise as a form of adjuvant breast cancer therapy that can prevent declines in fitness and function during treatment and optimise recovery post-treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of breast cancer treatment sequelae over 6 years of follow-up: the Pulling Through Study
TL;DR: There is a need to better describe and understand the prevalence of breast cancer treatment‐related adverse effects amenable to physical therapy and rehabilitative exercise and the Pulling Through Study provides data on prevalence of adverse effects in breast cancer survivors followed over 6 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upper-body morbidity following breast cancer treatment is common, may persist longer-term and adversely influences quality of life
TL;DR: The relationship between arm morbidity and quality of life (QoL) remains unclear as mentioned in this paper, however, the relationship between upper-body function (UBF) and QoL remains unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of exercise for those with cancer-related lymphedema
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of exercise on cancer-related lymphedema and related symptoms were evaluated using a random effects model, with subgroup analyses for exercise mode and intervention length.
