April is Cancer Month, and Drs. Kristin Campbell (Assistant Professor) and Susan Harris (Professor Emerita) are working to improve the lives of patients with breast cancer. Their research has been featured prominently as part of an important supplement in the journal Cancer. The supplement was published online April 6, 2012 and will be in print April 15, 2012. Spearheaded and endorsed by the American Cancer Society, this supplement is the first to specifically address the physical rehabilitation needs of women during and after breast cancer. The supplement outlines an innovative model to address a wide range of physical issues faced by women with breast cancer and offers hope for improved function and full participation in life activities for patients through rehabilitation and exercise. It includes 16 articles by internationally renowned experts in the field. Both Drs. Campbell and Harris contributed significantly to the supplement. They each published one article as primary author, with an additional five articles between them. The current model of medical care for women with breast cancer focuses on treatment of the disease, followed by ongoing surveillance to detect recurrence. While both of these are, of course, extremely critical, most women have physical impairments as a result of their breast cancer treatment that impact function and quality of life. These impairments include issues such as pain, shoulder problems, fatigue, weight gain and lymphedema. There is a lack of awareness among women and their healthcare providers about these issues. As such, few women receive rehabilitation care that can significantly improve and even prevent the physical side-effects of treatment. When women do get referred for care, too often the issues have reached a level where they are significantly impacting women’s everyday lives and may be more difficult to manage. The supplement points to evidence that supports the implementation of a prospective surveillance model (PSM) for early identification and treatment of physical impairments that may prevent or mitigate many of these functional concerns as well as provide a venue to point patients towards exercise and other health promoting activities. The goals of the model are to promote surveillance for common breast cancer-related physical impairments and functional limitations, to provide education to facilitate early identification of impairments, to introduce rehabilitation and exercise intervention when physical impairments are identified, and to promote and support physical activity and exercise behaviors through the trajectory of disease treatment and survivorship.
