Exercise and Nutrition for Head and Neck Cancer Patients (ENHANCE)

24 de octubre de 2016 actualizado por: Dr. Nicole Culos-Reed, University of Calgary

Exercise and Nutrition for Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Patient Oriented, Clinic-Supported Randomized Controlled Trial

Research on physical activity and nutrition interventions aimed at positively impacting symptom management, treatment-related recovery and quality of life has largely excluded head and neck cancer populations. This translates into a lack of clinical programming available for these patient populations. Head and neck cancer patients deal with severe weight loss, with upwards of 70% attributed to lean muscle wasting, leading to extended recovery times, decreased quality of life (QoL), and impaired physical functioning. To date, interventions to address body composition issues have focused solely on diet, despite findings that nutritional therapy alone is insufficient to mitigate changes. A combined physical activity and nutrition intervention, that also incorporates important educational components known to positively impact behaviour change, is warranted for this population. Pilot work suggests that there is large patient demand and clinic support from the health care professionals for a comprehensive program. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of timing of a 12-week PA and nutrition intervention (either during or following treatment) for HN cancer patients on body composition, recovery, serum inflammatory markers and quality of life. In addition, the investigators will examine the impact of a 12-week maintenance program, delivered immediately following the intervention, on adherence, patient-reported outcomes (i.e., management of both physical and psychosocial treatment-related symptoms and side-effects), as well as return to work. The investigators hypothesize that (1) patients who are randomized to the intervention at treatment start will experience improved symptom management and decreased lean body composition changes, directly improving recovery and QoL; (2) patients who receive a maintenance support program will have better long-term adherence and therefore superior treatment-related symptom management, physical and psychosocial functioning; and (3) return to work indices will improve and healthcare utilization costs will be lower in the participants who receive the immediate intervention (vs. delayed) as well as in those who receive the maintenance program (vs. no maintenance). This research will facilitate advancements in patient wellness, survivorship, and autonomy, and carve the path for a physical activity and wellness education model that can be implemented in other cancer centers.

An overnight fasted blood draw will be collected at baseline, 3 months post diagnosis, 6 months post diagnosis, 9 months post diagnosis, and 12 months post diagnosis. Serum inflammatory cytokine concentrations will be assessed in-house (Dr. Raylene Reimer's laboratory) according to our established protocols. TNF, IL-6, IL-1, IL-8 and C-reactive protein will be quantified using Milliplex Human Cytokine kits (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Plate reading will be provided as a fee-for service through Eve Technologies Inc. (Calgary, AB).

Diet Behaviour - 3 Day food record
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis) and 4 & 8 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
The 3-Day Diet Record is said to be the most accurate for mean macronutrient content and appropriate for use in studies where subjects may consume a wide variety of foods (American Dietetics Association / Dietitians Canada, 2000). Participants are instructed to record their daily consumption over a period of three days, one of which must be a weekend day. Written instructions and a sample entry are provided to increase accuracy of the daily record.

The PG-SGA assessment tool has been show to improve treatment outcomes, decrease side-effects, and improve weight-management in cancer patients, and therefore will be used weekly to assess and identify malnutrition among patients (McMahon et al., 2000; Doyle et al., 2006).
At baseline (diagnosis), each week during radiation treatment (6.5 weeks in duration), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis
Health related Fitness Measures - Resting Heart Rate
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.

At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
Health Related Fitness Outcome - Blood Pressure
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
A resting blood pressure (mmHg) will be measured in duplicate on the left arm using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope using standardized procedures (CPAFLA, 2003).
At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
Health Related Fitness Outcome - 6 minute walk test
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) will be used to assess changes in functional aerobic capacity. Using the standardized protocol, participants will be asked to walk as far as they can around a 400-meter track for six minutes [43]. The point reached at 6 minutes will be marked and measured to the nearest 0.5 meter. Rating of perceived exertion (Borg scale) will be completed immediately after completion of the functional aerobic capacity test.
At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, 12 months post diagnosis.
Health Related Fitness Outcome - Grip Strength
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis.
Muscular strength will be assessed using a combined grip strength of the right and left hands will also be assessed using a hand dynamometer. A sum will be determined in kilograms from the best score of 2 trials recorded for each hand according to the CPAFLA protocol.
At baseline (diagnosis) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis.
Health Related Fitness Outcome - Lower Body Strength
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis
Lower body strength will be assessed using a 30-second sit to stand test. The number of times participants can stand from a seated position in 30-second will be examined.
At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis
Health Related Fitness Outcome - Flexibility
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis
Flexibility will be assessed by a trunk forward flexion sit-and-reach test using a Wells-Dillon flexometer. The test will follow a standard protocol, with two trials allowed and the highest score to the nearest 0.5 cm recorded.
At baseline (diagnosis) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis
Health Related Fitness Outcome - Balance
Periodo de tiempo: At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis.
Balance will be assessed using a static balance test. The test requires the participant to balance on one foot and then the other as long as they can (length of time to a maximum of 45 seconds) while standing on a 2.54 by 2.54 by 30.5 cm base using a standardized protocol, reported by Fleishman.
At baseline (diagnosis), and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post diagnosis.
