NCT02240836

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study, the EBBA-II trial, is to determine whether a 12 month exercise program comprised of strength and endurance training among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant therapy, will influence cardiopulmonary function. Secondary aims are to determine whether the 12 month exercise program will influence factors associated with metabolic profile, tumor growth, disease-free survival, overall mortality and breast cancer specific mortality. Furthermore, the effect on QoL parameters, and dietary factors will be assessed and evaluated.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention. Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention starts 3-4 weeks after surgical treatment. The exercise program is performed in parallel with standard breast cancer treatment, and take place in supervised exercise groups by experienced physiotherapists. The duration of the intervention exercise program is 12 months, and the participants will attend the exercise groups for training 60 minutes twice a week. Additionally, they will exercise at home for at least 120 minutes a week, aiming to perform a total of 240 minutes of exercise per week

Other: Intervention. Exercise

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group, standard treatment regimen

Interventions

Physical activity. Attendance in exercise groups 60 min. twice a week and exercise at home 120 min per week. Intervention for 12 months.
