Abstract
Cancer, one of the most prevalent conditions globally, stands out as a significant cause of death, especially breast cancer, which affects millions of women. This article explored the connection between anthropometric measurements, stress levels and fatigue in survivors of breast cancer. Twenty women undergoing treatment took part and their physical characteristics, stress (using the Stress Perception Scale) and fatigue (using the FACIT-F Fatigue Questionnaire) were assessed. The results revealed inverse associations between body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage (%BF) with fatigue, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy anthropometric profile. The regular practice of physical exercise has proved fundamental in mitigating the side effects of treatment and improving the quality of life after cancer. These findings highlight the need for integrated approaches in the treatment of breast cancer, taking into account physical and psychological factors to optimize treatment outcomes.
