Nutritional support in the complex of medical rehabilitation at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy of breast cancer

BACKGROUND: Currently it is known that there exists the need for complex medical rehabilitation at the stage of adjuvant radiation treatment of breast cancer. However, data on the combined use of nutritional support and physical factors at this stage of oncological treatment are not available. AIM: Evaluation of the effectiveness of specialized therapeutic and preventive nutrition in patients with malignant breast diseases and a history of polychemotherapy at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy in complex medical rehabilitation using low-temperature plasma and general magnetic therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective simple randomized study was conducted, which involved 60 patients at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy for breast cancer. The main group (n=30) received a course of medical rehabilitation with the inclusion of nutritional support using specialized therapeutic and preventive nutrition LEOVIT ONCO®, as well as exposure to low-temperature plasma and general magnetotherapy. In the comparison group (n=30), the rehabilitation course included general magnetic therapy without therapeutic and preventive nutrition. All patients underwent individual physiotherapy exercises, and sessions with a medical psychologist. The results obtained were recorded using clinical and functional, laboratory, instrumental studies. RESULTS: It has been established that the use of specialized dietary products LEOVIT ONCO and physical factors is an effective method of rehabilitation. The use of nutritional support demonstrates the maintenance of the patient’s protein status, reduces intoxication, and reduces the negative impact of oxidative stress factors in the body at the stage of adjuvant radiation treatment. The inclusion of low-temperature plasma and general magnetic therapy in the rehabilitation program has a beneficial effect on hemomicrocirculation in the area of ionizing radiation exposure. CONCLUSION: The use of nutritional support and physical factors, as a component of complex medical rehabilitation, helps to maintain the optimal nutritional status of the patient, reduces the manifestations of skin radiation reactions, improves the psycho-emotional state of patients and the quality of life of patient.

The impact of early medical rehabilitation on improving the quality of life of patients after surgical treatment of breast cancer

BACKGROUND: Various methods of physical therapy are widely used in the rehabilitation of patients with oncological diseases. It is known about the successful use of magnetotherapy, various types of electrotherapy, laser therapy, as a result of which the pain, edematous anti-inflammatory syndrome decreases after radical treatment. There are a large number of studies in the literature devoted to the study of the quality of life and the psycho-emotional state of a patient in the process of antitumor treatment, however, there are few studies on the effect of early onset of medical rehabilitation on the quality of life of women after surgical treatment of breast cancer.
 AIM: тo compare the effectiveness of prescribing medical rehabilitation in breast cancer patients at different times after surgical treatment of breast cancer 24 days and 11.5 months after surgery.
 MATERIAL AND METODS: A randomized placebo-controlled study was conducted in 70 patients at different times after surgical treatment of breast cancer. All patients underwent medical rehabilitation: individual physical therapy classes, balance therapy, classes with a medical psychologist, general magnetotherapy and intermittent pneumocompression. The main group included 35 patients who were rehabilitated on the 2nd-4th day after surgical treatment of breast cancer, the comparison group included 35 women who were rehabilitated after 11.5 months on the background of radiation therapy.
 RESULTS: It was proved that the early start of medical rehabilitation in patients after surgical treatment of breast cancer (on the 2nd4th day), contributed to the rapid restoration of the quality of life, namely, a rapid reduction in pain and postoperative edema, an increase in the volume of movements in the shoulder joint, prevention of severe lymphostasis, rapid restoration of electrical excitability of the shoulder girdle muscles.
 CONCLUSION: In the groups, a long-term clinical effect was obtained after the appointment of physiotherapy procedures, which emphasizes the expediency of exposure to physical factors at the first stage of rehabilitation to restore the motor function of the operated upper limb in patients with a history of breast cancer.

General magnetic therapy and electrostatic field after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer at the 1st stage of medical rehabilitation

BACKGROUND: Various methods of physical therapy have been proposed for the rehabilitation of patients with breast cancer. However, a staged approach to prescribing physiotherapeutic factors in the early period after surgical treatment of breast cancer has not been developed enough.
 AIMS: to develop a staged approach to the appointment of physiotherapeutic factors at different times after surgical treatment of breast cancer.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: Examination and treatment of 64 patients aged 30 to 70 years after surgical treatment for breast cancer were carried out. All patients underwent medical rehabilitation: individual exercise therapy, balanstherapy, sessions with a medical psychologist, course exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field and general magnetotherapy. The main group consisted of 33 patients who underwent a 2-stage course of medical rehabilitation: the 1st course on days 24 after the operation and the 2nd course after 11.5 months against the background of adjuvant radiation therapy. The control group 31 women, underwent physiotherapy placebo procedures.

 CONCLUSION: The inclusion of exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field and general magnetotherapy in the early stages (24 days) and 11.5 months after surgical treatment has broad functionality and allows you to obtain a pronounced functional and stable clinical result.

Application of Physical Factors at the First Stage of Medical Rehabilitation after Radical Surgical Treatment of Breast Cancer

There are a large number of publications confirming the clinical safety of the of physiotherapy application in patients with malignant neoplasms of the breast, but scientific studies on the physical factors complex use in medical rehabilitation of this group of patients in the early postoperative period have not been published yet. Aim. To determine the effectiveness of fluctuating currents in combination with pneumocompression, general magnetotherapy, local magnetotherapy, low-temperature argon plasma applied for patients after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer in the early postoperative period. Material and methods. A prospective, simple, randomized study involving 190 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the early postoperative period after radical Madden mastectomy or radical breast resection (2–4 days) was performed, the average age was 58±10.61 years. The control group consisted of patients included in the course of rehabilitation (exercise therapy, balance therapy and classes with a medical psychologist) fluctuating currents. Low-temperature argon plasma, intermittent pneumocompression, general and local magnetotherapy were added to fluctuations for patients in the main groups. Results and discussion. The analysis of the clinical and functional data showed that in the early postoperative period for breast cancer against the background of the standard drug therapy and the course of medical rehabilitation, the combination of fluctuating currents with intermittent pneumocompression, general and local magnetotherapy significantly reduced the degree of the upper limb edema and the volume of lymphorrhea. The addition of general and local magnetotherapy affects the decrease in the indicators of the shoulder girdle and forearm muscles electrical excitability. Low temperature argon plasma improves the regeneration of the postoperative suture and reduces swelling and inflammation in this area. The dynamics of the decrease in the level of anxiety and depression, pain syndrome and the general condition of cancer patients are most pronounced in the groups that additionally received magnetotherapy. The volume and quality of movements, muscle strength significantly increased in all groups without differences in results. The action of magnetic fields contributes to the increase of tissue oxygenation, due to which an anti-inflammatory and decongestant effect is realized. Fluctuation of the shoulder girdle and forearm muscles leads to normalization of the functional electrical excitability of the muscles by surgical treatment, which allows to restore the motor stereotype of the limb in a short time, and intermittent pneumocompression affecting the skin and tissue structures of the lower extremities and trunk improves the overall lymph flow, which does not lead to stagnation of lymph in the operated area. Conclusion. Thus, the combined application of physical factors against the background of the standard drug therapy and the course of medical rehabilitation significantly improves the result and recovery time after surgical treatment of the breast cancer in the early postoperative period. A comprehensive approach to medical rehabilitation at the I stage led to the preservation of results in the long-term period 1.5 and 6 months after the operation without adverse events.

The use of low-temperature argon plasma and general magnetotherapy in the early postoperative period after surgical treatment of breast cancer

Taking into account the high prevalence of complications after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer, medical rehabilitation courses were developed and conducted in the early postoperative period (2–4 days after surgery) with the inclusion of physical factors: low-temperature argon plasma and general magnetotherapy, as well as physical therapy, biofeedback training on the support reaction (balance therapy) and individual classes with a medical psychologist. The study included 71 women who underwent surgery for breast cancer on 2–4 days after the surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups, comparable in age, clinical and functional indicators, by simple randomization. At all stages of the study, the patients underwent clinical, functional and laboratory examinations, and questionnaires. In group1 (n = 36), 10 procedures of low-temperature argon plasma and general magnetotherapy were carried out in the early postoperative period against the background of standard therapy. In the 2nd group (n = 35,) the patients received low-temperature argon plasma. In addition to physiotherapy, all patients received a complex of physiotherapy exercises, balance therapy and classes from a medical psychologist. The results showed the disappearance of puffiness in the postoperative area and the upper limb, an increase in the volume and quality of movements, reduction in the manifestation of pain syndrome, as well as inflammation syndrome, acceleration of regeneration, prevention of the formation of rough scar tissue. The patients noted an improvement in general health, improved sleep. With further observation, the prolongation of the action of physical factors was noted. Thus, the combined effect of the studied factors makes it possible to prevent both early and late complications of the postoperative period and makes a positive effect on the restoration and maintenance of the quality of life, and the social adaptation of breast cancer patients.

Clinical efficacy of rehabilitation measures in patients with melanoma of the skin undergoing immunotherapy

Currently one of the urgent problems of oncology is he choice of tactics of rehabilitation measure. Despite the long list of known possible side effects from antitumor therapy, most patients do not receive follow-up and preventive interventions necessary to correct clinically significant consequences. Analysis of clinical effectiveness of complex rehabilitation programs in patients with melanoma of skin receiving immunotherapy. The study included 109 patients with metastatic melanoma, aged 26 to 88 years, who received immunotherapy in the period from 2019 to 2022. The study group (n=54) included patients who received a comprehensive rehabilitation program: physical therapy, nutritional support, general magnetotherapy, psychotherapy sessions without concomitant medications. Patients who did not use rehabilitation programs made up the control group (n=55). The effectiveness of therapy was evaluated in accordance with iRECIST 1.1 criteria. Immuno-mediated toxity of treatment was evaluated according to CTCAE criteria (version 5.0, 2017). To assess the quality of life (QoL), the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was used. The median follow-up of patients was 20 weeks in the study group, 19 weeks in the control group. Stabilization of the disease was achieved in 21 (38.9%) patients of the study group and 23 (41.8%) patients of the control group; disease progression in both groups was comparable: 10 (18.5%) - in the study group, 12 (21.8%) - in the control group. Adverse events of therapy were detected in 39 (72.2%) patients of the study group, 46 (83.6%) patients of the control group. All registered adverse events according to CTCAE 5.0 criteria were of grade I-II. No serious adverse events of the IV degree were detected during the study period. The introduction of comprehensive rehabilitation programs in the treatment of patients with melanoma shows its effectiveness and reduced toxicity of immunotherapy, however, there are a number of important issues that require further resolution.

The effectiveness of local and general magnetotherapy in early rehabilitation of women after surgical treatment of breast cancer

Effectiveness comparison of local and general magneto-therapy for determining differentiated indications in order to prescribe the techniques for early rehabilitation of patients after surgical treatment of breast cancer (BC). It was examined 114 women after radical mastectomy for breast cancer. The patients were divided into 3 groups by the method of simple randomization: the control group (37 women) received therapeutic exercises without additional prescription of physiotherapeutic procedures; 1st main group (38 women) - in addition to exercises a course of local magneto-therapy; 2nd main group (39 women) - general magneto-therapy. The results were assessed using a visual analogue pain scale, goniometry results, remote infrared thermography, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). The inclusion of magneto-therapy in the rehabilitation complex reduced local hyperemia and edema in the area of the postoperative suture on the 7th-8th day in 73.7 and 76.9% of patients of the 1st and 2nd groups, respectively, while in the control group a similar result was observed by 10-14 days. Both methods of magneto-therapy eliminated temperature asymmetry and restored the normal thermographic pattern of the skin surface in the area of the surgical field, reduced the severity of pain, and increased the range of motion in the shoulder joint on the side of the operation. When studying the possibility of eliminating the manifestations of asthenic syndrome a comparison of the two studied methods showed the undoubted advantage of the general exposure to a magnetic field. In addition, it has also caused a statistically significant decrease in indicators of anxiety and depression on the HADS scale, while local exposure to a magnetic field did not have a similar effect. The choice of exposure to a magnetic field at the stage of early rehabilitation of women after surgery for breast cancer is determined by the intensity of the pain syndrome, the degree of activity of aseptic inflammation in the area of the postoperative suture, the level of anxiety and depression, and the severity of asthenic syndrome.

Influence of complex rehabilitation programs on the uterine blood flow in patients of different age after plastic surgery for rectocele

To develop the optimized complex programs, including general magnetotherapy, fractional microablative therapy with a CO2 laser, electromyostimulation with biofeedback of the pelvic floor muscles, and a special exercise therapy complex in late rehabilitation programs for women of different age after reconstructive plastic surgery for rectocele. There were 200 women of childbearing, peri- and menopausal age with rectocele grade II-III and 20 healthy women of comparable age. All patients were divided into 4 groups by 50 womes: main group, two comparison groups and control group. Surgical treatment of rectocele was followed by long-term postoperative rehabilitation including symptomatic therapy, general magnetotherapy, and electromyostimulation with biofeedback of the pelvic floor muscles, intra-vaginal fractional microablative therapy with a CO2 laser and special complex of therapeutic physical education. General magnetotherapy in early (1 day) postoperative period and complex rehabilitation in long-term postoperative period (within a month after surgery) including 2 procedures of intra-vaginal microablative fractional therapy with carbon dioxide laser, electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles and special complex of therapeutic physical education ensured more significant improvement of uterine blood flow regardless age and baseline disorders in the uterine arteries in patients with rectocele. In our opinion, this is primarily due to vasoactive effects of general magnetotherapy, recovery of circulation via relief of spasm in the arteries and arterioles, improved vein contractility and venous outflow. These processes combined with electrical stimulation and therapeutic exercises of pelvic floor muscle followed by their reinforcement, as well as fractional microablative therapy ensured significant vascular effect.
