The aime of this study is to assess the effect of a multimodal group exercise intervention, as an adjunct to conventional care, on fatigue, physical capacity, general wellbeing, physical activity, and quality of life in patients with breast cancer who were undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. The study was conducted in Tishreen university hospital in Lattakia the participants were 164 women with breast cancer. Supervised exercise comprising high intensity cardiovascular and resistance training, relaxation and body awareness training, massage, nine hours weekly for six weeks in addition to conventional care, compared with conventional care. The intervention group showed an estimated improvement at six weeks for the primary outcome, fatigue, of −6.8 (−12.3 to −0.9), P=0.02. Significant effects were seen on vitality for physical functioning 2,5 (-0,4 to 5,2), role physical 4,5 (-1,8 to 11,1), role emotional -0,3 (-4,0 to 3,3), and mental health 1,9 (-2,5 to 6,1) scores. No significant effect was seen on global health status/quality of life. A supervised multi modal exercise intervention including high and low intensity components was feasible and could safely be used in patients with breast cancer who were receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or treatment for advanced disease. The intervention reduced fatigue and improved vitality, muscular strength, and physical and functional activity, and emotional wellbeing, but not quality of life.

Moreover, there is a necessity for ascertaining the role of educational nursing in affording holistic nursing care for breast cancer patien

Experimental group patients received supportive psycho-educational interventions consisted of education, progressive muscle relaxation technique with four supportive range of motion exercises in addition to emotional support for three months. While control group patients received routine nursing care in hospital.

Aim: to assess the expression ofcathepsin B(ctsB; an important protease) in human breast cancer and correlate that with the tumor grade. Materials and Methods:Serial sections were obtained from 23 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded breast cancer tis sue specimens which were collected from Alasad University Hospital and a pathological laboratory in Lattakia - Syria. Tissues were stained for cathepsin B using immunohistochemistry. Tonsil tissues were also included as a positive control. Results:Positive cytoplasmic staining of CtsB was observed in both follicular macrophages and endothelial cells in tonsil sections. In breast cancer tissues, tumor cells, endothelial cells and stroma stained positive for CtsB. The presence of CtsB in blood endothelium significantly correlated with the tumor grade (p=0.049). Conclusion: These results supported the important role of cathepsin B in tumor progression, particularly in angiogenesis. Future studies should investigate the regulating mechanisms of cathepsin activities within the tumor environment, and that can be considered as new tagets for cancer treatment.
