Abstract

Abstract Background Adjuvant therapy may cause multiple sideeffects on long term health, including reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with breast cancer (1, 2). However, there is currently limited knowledge regarding the effect of different types of adjuvant cancer treatment on CRF in other cancer populations. The primary objective of the present study was to assess whether previously known correlates (age, diagnosis, initial CRF, physical activity level), type of adjuvant treatment and cancer-related fatigue were associated with changes in $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max in patients with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. Methods Prospective study with two time points of assessment, 85 patients scheduled for adjuvant cancer treatment were included. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by $$ \dot{\ V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max during a maximal incremental exercise test on a treadmill before start of adjuvant therapy and again six months later. Physical activity level was recorded with a physical activity monitor (Sense Wear™ Mini) at baseline as average minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) per day. Physical fatigue at baseline was reported using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 questionaire. Results In multivariate linear regression analysis, 30 min higher daily MVPA at baseline was associated with a 5% higher $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max at six months follow up when adjusted for adjuvant treatment (P = 0.010). Patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy had a mean decline in $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max of 10% (− 19, − 1; 95% confidence interval) compared to patients receiving adjuvant endocrine treatment (P = 0.028). Adjuvant radiotherapy, fatigue, age and diagnosis were not significantly associated with changes in $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max . Conclusion The results of the present study indicate that adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a subsequent reduction in $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max in patients with cancer whereas MVPA before start of adjuvant treatment is positively associated with a higher $$ \dot{V}{O}_2\mathit{\max} $$ V ̇ O 2 max after end of adjuvant treatment.
