Purpose: To investigate the access to physical rehabilitation for a range of adverse physical effects following different types of breast cancer surgery. Methods: Online survey of 632 Australian women (mean age = 59.8 years, SD = 9.6) grouped according to their breast cancer surgery, (i) breast-conserving surgery (BCS; n = 228), (ii) mastectomy (MAST; n = 208), (iii) breast reconstruction (BRS; n = 196), who retrospectively reported whether they received any physical rehabilitation for 6 adverse physical effects. Fisher's exact tests were used to compare the frequency of respondents who received physical rehabilitation for each adverse physical effect among the 3 groups. The percentage of the entire cohort of respondents (n = 632) who had lymph nodes removed, postoperative complications, or preexisting musculoskeletal issues who received physical rehabilitation was also tabulated. Results: No significant difference was found among the 3 groups in the percentage of respondents who received physical rehabilitation for most adverse physical effects (scar: P = .27; shoulder: P = .11; torso: P = .76; physical discomfort disturbing sleep: P = .74), except lymphedema (P = .001) and breast support issues (P = .01), which were significantly less for the BRS and BCS groups. Less than 50% of respondents following all types of breast cancer surgery received physical rehabilitation for issues associated with scars, the torso, and physical discomfort disturbing sleep, whereas more than 70% received physical rehabilitation for shoulder issues and lymphedema. Conclusion: Access to physical rehabilitation was similar following the different types of breast cancer surgery; however, gaps were identified for adverse physical effects associated with scars, torso, and physical discomfort disturbing sleep, where access was less than that for shoulder issues and lymphedema.

Background: Breast cancer in young women can be a major challenge for those affected. To offer support, the establishment of a biopsychosocial profile may be beneficial. Methods: For this prospective observational pilot study, we collected data of 19 women with a mean age of 42.8 ± 5.4 years (30.0-49.0 year) before (T0) and after (T1) initial breast cancer treatment. The handgrip strength (HGS), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and bioimpedance analysis for the detection of phase angle (PhA) and bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) were used. Assessments included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B), and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F). Results: Women (age <50 years) with breast cancer showed impaired functional status (HGS, 6MWT, and PhA), abnormal physiologic findings (BIVA), decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and cancer-related fatigue (CRF) after breast cancer diagnosis prior to the onset of cancer treatment with significant deterioration following cancer treatment. This was accompanied by a potentially higher risk of mortality and impaired function due to the prevalence of values below a critical threshold (PhA: T0 = 11%, T1 = 42%; HGS: T0 = 21%, T1 = 32%). In addition, there was evidence of anxiety (47%) and depression (32%) at T0. Conclusion: Routine assessment of biomarkers of physical function, mental health, HRQoL, and CRF may lead to individual risk stratification and multidisciplinary intervention in young patients with breast cancer, which could help to personalize and optimize survivorship care plans.

Moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise training (MICT) is used to help alleviate symptoms of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in many cancer rehabilitation programs. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become increasingly popular, including several research studies demonstrating promising effects of HIIT on CRF among patients and survivors of cancer. However, we propose that 2 primary limitations exist in the current literature that must be addressed before HIIT should be translated from research studies and implemented in cancer rehabilitation. These limitations are the lack of generalizability of this research and a paucity of studies that have directly compared MICT with HIIT while matching for total exercise volume. In this commentary, we expand on the rationale for the proposed limitations and provide suggestions for future research directions.

Background and Purpose: Malignant melanoma has a high propensity to metastasize, specifically to the brain. Research has shown that incorporating oncology rehabilitation as part of the interdisciplinary care team promotes independence in functional mobility that leads to an improvement in a patient's quality of life. Case Description: A 70-year-old man presented with recurrent melanoma to the brain 10 years after initial diagnosis. Multiple brain metastases led to left hemiparesis of the arm and leg. Left-sided weakness affected his ability to perform activities of daily living and exercise regularly. The confounding impairments in balance resulted in multiple falls at home. Interventions: Interventions included balance training on various surfaces, core and proximal lower extremity strengthening, aerobic conditioning, and implementation of a home exercise program. Outcomes: The patient attended outpatient cancer rehabilitation for 19 weeks and discharged from physical therapy with a reported 47.7% improvement in global physical health and 26.7% improvement in global mental health on the PROMIS tool. At discharge, performance on the Five Times Sit to Stand Test, Timed Up and Go Test, and Dynamic Gait Index was below cutoff scores, indicating the patient was no longer a high risk for falls at home. Discussion: Physical therapy specifically tailored for the oncology patient allows for a customized rehabilitation approach that incorporates oncologic medical history and treatment into the episode of care, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life and function throughout the patient's cancer journey.

Background: Movement planning and execution involve using our internal representations within motor and sensory areas of our brain. Left/right judgment tasks (LRJTs) are behavioral tests that involve determining the side of the body when shown an image, without performing the movement. Individuals theoretically need to use their working body schemas to complete LRJTs. Objectives: To develop a chest LRJT testing protocol and document performance in healthy women and women post breast cancer (BrCA) treatment. Design: Observational, cohort study. Method: We recruited women with and without a history of unilateral BrCA. Participants provided demographic and health history information online, followed by hand, shoulder, and chest LRJTs. Images were digitally mirrored to create equal numbers of left and right images. Images were presented in random order within each body region. We measured accuracy and response time for LRJTs. Results: A total of 316 healthy women and 160 women post-BrCA treatment competed all testing. The BrCA group was consistently slower and less accurate at performing LRJTs for all 3 regions. The side of the image presented was not associated with performance. Conclusions: We successfully developed a chest LRJT testing method. Performance on LRJT of the upper quarter is diminished after BrCA treatment. We established tolerance intervals for anticipated performance in healthy women for future clinical and research comparisons.
