For cancer survivors who also identify as athletes, a rigorous exercise that was once part of their daily routine and fundamental to their physical, psychological, and potentially financial well-being, may be temporarily or permanently altered in ways that exacerbate cancer-related changes in quality of life. This report presents an illustrative case of an endurance athlete who underwent breast cancer treatment and her subsequent return to high-performance, high elevation sport. We identify gaps in oncology research and patient educational tools to counsel athletes with cancer regarding the acute and long-term effects of cancer treatment and possibility of returning to a precancer level of fitness and performance. The report also highlights the need to tailor individualized cancer care treatment, rehabilitation, and the ability to preempt potential clinical and psychological side effects that may substantially impact training and competition.
对于那些同时也是运动员的癌症幸存者来说，一项曾经是他们日常生活一部分且对其身体、心理乃至潜在经济状况至关重要的严格训练，可能会以加剧与癌症相关的生活质量变化的方式被暂时或永久改变。本报告介绍了一位耐力运动员乳腺癌治疗及随后重返高性能、高海拔运动的典型案例。我们指出了肿瘤学研究和患者教育工具方面的差距，以便就癌症治疗的急性和长期影响以及恢复到癌症前健康和运动水平的可能性向患癌运动员提供咨询。该报告还强调了需要量身定制个性化的癌症护理、治疗、康复方案，以及预防可能对训练和比赛产生重大影响的潜在临床和心理副作用的能力。
