History of Changes
  Purpose

Weight variation has been reported as a side effect of chemotherapy treatment in early breast cancer patients. To date, there is growing evidence for an increased risk of relapse and death in these patients who gain or lose weight. However, causes of weight variation during chemotherapy and mechanisms involved in the poor prognosis have been little studied.

Thus, the investigators are conducting a prospective study to characterize weight variation in terms of body composition and to identify the mechanisms involved.

Further study details as provided by Centre Jean Perrin:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in body composition [ Time Frame: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in energy balance [ Time Frame: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    resting energy expenditure, physical activity, food records.

  • Change from baseline in muscle strength [ Time Frame: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in biological factors (hormonal, inflammatory, lipid, growth factors) [ Time Frame: within 2 weeks before chemotherapy; 1month after the last chemotherapy; and 6 months later. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
