Detailed Description
Background: Technological support using e-health mobile applications (m-health) is a promising strategy to improve the adherence to healthy lifestyles in breast cancer survivors (excess in energy intake or low physical activity are determinants of the risk of recurrence, second cancers and cancer mortality). Moreover, cancer rehabilitation programs supervised by health professionals are needed due to the inherent characteristics of these breast cancer patients. Our main objective is to compare the clinical efficacy of a m-health lifestyle intervention system alone versus an integral strategy to improve Quality of Life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors.
Methods: This therapeutic superiority study will use a two-arm, assessor blinded parallel randomized clinical trial (RCT) design. Women will be eligible if: they are diagnosed of stage I, II or III-A breast cancer; are between 25 and 75 years old; have a Body Mass Index > 25kg/m2; they have basic ability to use mobile apps; they had completed adjuvant therapy except for hormone therapy; and they have some functional shoulder limitations. Participants will be randomized to one of the following groups: integral group will use a mobile application (BENECA APP) and will receive a supervised rehabilitation (8-weeks); m-health group will use the BENECA app for 8-weeks. Study endpoints will be assessed after 8 weeks and 24 weeks. The primary outcome will be QoL measured by The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core and breast module. The secondary outcomes: body composition; upper-body functionality (handgrip, Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, goniometry); cognitive function (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Trial Making Test); anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale); and accelerometer.
Discussion: This study has been designed to seek to address the new needs for support and treatment of breast cancer survivors, reflecting the emerging need to merge new low cost treatment options with much-needed involvement of health professionals in this type of patients.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: m-Health group
BENECA System: The m-health group will use the BENECA app for 8 weeks.
|
BENECA System is a mobile application whit aims to recover a healthy lifestyle in breast cancer survivors (in terms of energy balance: physical activity and dietary).
|
Experimental: Integral Group
BENECA System and Supervised-occupational therapy program: The integral groups will use the BENECA app and they will receive a face-to-face occupational therapy rehabilitation program for 8 weeks.
|
BENECA System is a mobile application whit aims to recover a healthy lifestyle in breast cancer survivors (in terms of energy balance: physical activity and dietary).
It is a comprehensive program that covers most of the physical, cognitive and emotional needs of these patients after oncology treatment from occupational therapy perspective.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Quality of life (QLQ)
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
The primary outcome will be assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORT QLQ-C30) version 3.0., and with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORT QLQ-BR23).
Both are the most widely used instruments to measure Quality of Life in cancer patients.
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Body mass Index
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Body mass index, in kg/m2, will be assessed by conducting Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Discovery densitometer from HOLOGIC, QDR 4500W).
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Fat mass
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
% Fat mass will also be assessed by conducting Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Discovery densitometer from HOLOGIC, QDR 4500W).
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Abdominal adipose tissue
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Abdominal adipose tissue will also be assessed by conducting Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Discovery densitometer from HOLOGIC, QDR 4500W).
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Bone mineral density
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Bone mineral density (Z-score) will also be assessed by conducting Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Discovery densitometer from HOLOGIC, QDR 4500W).
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
- Shoulder ROM measurements will be obtained using a standard, two-armed goniometer which is described as the clinical gold standard.
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Upper Body Functionality
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
The disability of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire will be used to measure the upper extremity functionality.
It includes 30-item disability/symptom scale.
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Upper body muscular strength
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Handgrip: Upper body muscular strength will be determined using digital dynamometer (TKK 5101 Grip-D; Tokyo, Japan.
The precision will be 0.1 kg.
|
Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
Cognitive function: attention
Time Frame: Participants will be followed over 8 weeks.
|
