Abstract
Aim
Breast cancer imposes a serious disease and economic burden on patients. This guideline aims to develop a living evidence-based clinical practice recommendations to guide the use of integrative therapies for the improvement of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in breast cancer survivors.
Methods
We searched systematic reviews and meta-analyses or conducted de nova systematic reviews and meta-analyses to support the recommendations. The grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation approach was used to rate the certainty of evidence and the strength of recommendations.
Results
The guideline panel issued 17 recommendations: for alleviating anxiety, strong recommendations in favor of muscle relaxation training, yoga, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychological education, and Tai Chi in general breast cancer survivors; for alleviating depression, strong recommendations in favor of mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, group psychotherapy, muscle relaxation training, acceptanceand commitment therapy in general breast cancer survivors, and exercise intervention for patients received radiotherapy; for sleep quality, conditional recommendations for all therapies; for pain, strong recommendations in favor of exercise intervention for postoperative breast cancer survivors; for alleviating fatigue, strong recommendations in favor of mindfulness therapy and group psychotherapy in general breast cancer survivors; for improving the quality of life, strong recommendations in favor of mindfulness therapy in general breast cancer survivors, Baduanjin and exercise intervention for patients undergoing anticancer treatment.
Conclusion
This proposed guideline provides recommendations for improving the PROs of breast cancer survivors. We hope these recommendations can help support practicing physicians and other healthcare providers for breast cancer survivors.
