abstract = {Muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia have been associated with
poor performance status, an increased mortality risk, and
greater side effects in oncologic patients. However, little
is known about how performance is affected by cancer
therapy. We investigated muscle strength in breast cancer
patients in different adjuvant treatment settings and also
compared it with data from healthy individuals.Breast cancer
patients (N = 255) from two randomized controlled
exercise trials, staged 0-III and aged
54.4 ± 9.4 years, were categorized into four groups
according to their treatment status. In a cross-sectional
design, muscle function was assessed bilaterally by
isokinetic dynamometry (0°, 60°, 180°/s) as maximal
voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and maximal
isokinetic peak torque (MIPT) in shoulder rotators and knee
flexors and extensors. Additionally, muscular fatigue index
$(FI\%)$ and shoulder flexibility were evaluated. Healthy
women (N = 26), aged 53.3 ± 9.8 years, were
tested using the same method. Analysis of covariance was
used to estimate the impact of different cancer treatments
on skeletal muscle function with adjustment for various
clinical and socio-demographic factors.Consistently, lower
muscle strength was measured in shoulder and knee strength
in patients after chemotherapy. On average, patients had up
to $25\%$ lower strength in lower extremities and $12-16\%$
in upper extremities in MVIC and MIPT during cancer
treatment compared with healthy women. No substantial
difference between patient groups in shoulder strength, but
significantly lower shoulder flexibility in patients with
radical mastectomy was measured. Chemotherapy-treated
patients had consistently higher $FI\%.$ No serious adverse
events were reported.Breast cancer patients showed markedly
impaired muscle strength and joint dysfunctions before and
after anticancer treatment. The significant differences
between patients and healthy individuals underline the need
of exercise therapy as early as possible in order to prevent
or counteract the loss of muscle function after curative
surgery as well as the consequences of neo-/adjuvant
chemotherapy.},
