All-extremity Exercise During Breast Cancer Chemotherapy

University of Florida

Start Date

4/5/2024

Completion Date

1/31/2027

Summary

Currently, there are 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States and this number is expected to increase dramatically. The proposed research will examine whether a novel exercise intervention for breast cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy protects against cardiovascular dysfunction. Findings may have implications for cardiovascular disease prevention in this population.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Range: 18 years to 85 years

Inclusion Criteria: * Active diagnosis of primary invasive non-metastatic breast cancer, stages I-III * Female * 18 to 85 years of age * Scheduled to initiate neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (anthracycline, alkylating agent and/or taxane) * Absence of contraindications to exercise * Study clinician approval * Able to give consent * Informed consent obtained from the subject and documentation of subject agreement to comply with study-related process Exclusion Criteria: * Do not meet inclusion criteria * Receiving targeted therapies (CDK4/6 or PARP inhibitors) * Receiving radiation therapy concurrent with chemotherapy * Lymphedema stage ≥ 2 prior to study enrollment * Any relevant cardiovascular diseases (stroke, heart failure, myocardial ischemia during maximal graded exercise test, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty or coronary stent) * Current participation in other experimental interventions that may confound interpretation of study findings (e.g., dietary intervention for weight loss)
