Currently, in Australia, 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. A common adjuvant treatment for breast cancer is radiation therapy (RT). The amalgamation of side effects caused by RT treatment can ultimately affect a patient's quality of life (QoL). With increasing breast cancer survival, a greater focus on the non-lethal consequences of this disease and its treatment is warranted. Exercise and nutrition have proven beneficial in promoting and supporting overall health and managing chronic diseases. Furthermore, exercise has demonstrated improvement and sustainment to QoL. The focus of this scoping literature review was to determine the scale of evidence regarding the effectiveness of exercise and/or nutritional interventions for women with breast cancer receiving radiation therapy. An online search of five databases was conducted to identify studies published between 2000 and 2023. The 58 studies included in the scoping review comprised 46 interventions and 4615 women with breast cancer who received radiation therapy participated. Most studies (90%; n = 52) were 'exercise only' based, 3% (n = 2) were 'nutrition only', and the remaining 7% (n = 4) of studies were combined exercise and nutrition interventions. The findings from this review highlight most studies are dedicated to investigating exercise. Further research is required to fully understand the potential benefits of these interventions and their synergistic impact on the quality of life of women with breast cancer receiving radiation therapy.
目前，澳大利亚每 8 名女性中就有 1 人被诊断出患有乳腺癌。乳腺癌的一种常见辅助治疗方法是放射治疗（RT）。RT 治疗引起的副作用会最终影响患者的生活质量（QoL）。随着乳腺癌存活率的提高，越来越有必要关注这种疾病及其治疗的非致死后果。运动和营养已被证明对促进和支持整体健康以及管理慢性疾病有益。此外，运动已被证明可以改善和维持生活质量。本次范围界定文献综述的重点是确定有关接受放射治疗的乳腺癌女性进行运动和/或营养干预的有效性的证据规模。通过在线搜索五个数据库，确定了 2000 年至 2023 年期间发表的研究。该范围综述中纳入的 58 项研究包括 46 项干预措施和 4615 名接受放射治疗的乳腺癌女性。大多数研究（90%；n=52）是“仅运动”，3%（n=2）是“仅营养”，其余 7%（n=4）的研究是联合运动和营养干预。从本次综述中可以看出，大多数研究都致力于调查运动。需要进一步研究以充分了解这些干预措施的潜在益处及其对接受放射治疗的乳腺癌女性生活质量的协同影响。
