Changes in body composition during breast cancer chemotherapy with the CMF‐regimen

Changes in body composition during breast cancer chemotherapy with the CMF‐regimen Weight gain is a reported problem associated with adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and often generates psychosocial stress in women [1]. It also may affect prognosis and survival. Changes in body composition and weight during chemotherapy, particularly adjuvant treatment of breast carcinoma, have been previously reported [1–3]. Multiple reasons for this weight gain have been suggested though few theories have been scientifically validated [4]. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Breast Cancer Research and Treatment Springer Journals

Abstract

Weight gain is a reported problem associated with adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and often generates psychosocial stress in women [1]. It also may affect prognosis and survival. Changes in body composition and weight during chemotherapy, particularly adjuvant treatment of breast carcinoma, have been previously reported [1–3]. Multiple reasons for this weight gain have been suggested though few theories have been scientifically validated [4].
