claimThe study by Sukriye Cansu Gultekin et al. evaluated functional status and health-related parameters in ovarian cancer survivors compared to healthy controls, and compared these parameters between early and advanced stage ovarian cancer survivors.
claimThe study concluded that functional status and health-related parameters are negatively affected in ovarian cancer survivors, with advanced-stage survivors reporting higher levels of fatigue, neuropathy, anxiety, and depression.
claimOvarian cancer survivors demonstrated lower functional exercise capacity (6MWT), peripheral muscle strength, knee extension strength, and respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure) compared to healthy controls.
procedureThe study assessed ovarian cancer survivors using the following methods: 6-min walk test (6MWT) for functional exercise capacity, 30-s chair stand test (30 s-CST) for functional fitness and muscle endurance, a handheld dynamometer for peripheral and lower extremity muscle strength, Medical Micro RPM for respiratory muscle strength, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for physical activity level, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Scale (ECOG-PS) for performance status, Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) for fatigue, Treatment/Gynecological Oncology-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX) for neuropathy, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety and depression, and the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) for quality of life.
measurementThe study recruited 32 ovarian cancer survivors (15 early stage, 17 advanced stage) who had completed adjuvant local and systemic treatments at least 12 months prior with no evidence of recurrence, alongside 32 healthy controls.
measurementAmong the 32 ovarian cancer survivors studied, all underwent surgery and chemotherapy, while 9.4% received radiotherapy in addition to chemotherapy.
measurementThe median recurrence-free period for the ovarian cancer survivors in the study was 24.00 months, with a range of 12.00 to 75.00 months.
claimOvarian cancer survivors exhibited higher levels of anxiety (HADS-A) and fatigue (CIS scores) compared to healthy controls.
