Impact of Nutritional Intervention in Women With Breast Cancer Under Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Summary

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Weight gain in adulthood, overweight or obesity, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption are risk factors commonly associated with risk of breast cancer (mainly for post-menopausal for overweight and obesity). Reduced physical activity is one factor likely to weight gain in women after adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer. Furthermore, physical activity appropriately could improve many prognostic factors and survival of women after breast cancer. Adapted Physical Activity (APA) could improve fitness, quality of life, body image, treatment compliance and reduce fatigue.

After diagnosis of breast cancer, there is many possible risk factors of mortality or morbidity related to nutritional factors available to management. These risks prevention through management of these patients appears indispensable through an APA program.

Thus, the investigators propose to test the feasibility of implementing a program of dietary intervention and APA to prevent the risk of weight gain (which affects more than half of patients) and maintain and/or increase their level of physical activity during and after adjuvant chemotherapy.
