Study Summary
Radiation therapy (RT) is often used to treat breast cancer. RT combined with breast surgery is associated with better outcomes in early stage breast cancer compared to surgery alone. Fatigue is one of the most important side effects of RT because it can decrease patients' quality of life. Studies found that physical activity (PA) may help to improve quality of life in cancer survivors. PA has been reported to lower fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Physical inactivity over a long period of time may lead to rapid energy and physical function loss. PA intervention studies in patients undergoing RT have included mostly White patients. There is no evidence on African American patients undergoing RT. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a structured, moderate-intensity, aerobic exercise program in reducing cancer-related fatigue in African Americans undergoing RT for localized breast cancer.
Primary Outcome
Fatigue Cancer-related fatigue will be determined using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) survey instrument. The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item subscale developed to identify a finite set of concerns specific to fatigue. The responses to the 13 items on the FACIT fatigue questionnaire are each measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Thus, the total score ranges from 0 to 52. The FACIT-Fatigue scale has been validated in patients with cancer and showed excellent
