Experimental: Intervention
Lifestyle intervention combining weight control, diet and physical activity
|
Behavioral: Diet
The dietary component, aimed to reduce calorie intake according to individual requirements, will be structured in 1-hour weekly sessions led by trained nutritionists. Sessions will concentrate on teaching participants about food groups, the food pyramid and Mediterranean diet, how to chose, prepare and cook hypo-caloric meals. Behavioral: Physical activity The physical activity component will include two sessions per week led by trained physical activity monitors including aerobic exercise of high/moderate intensity, and instruction about the at-home exercise activities (3 more sessions). |

- Time to local and distant recurrence [ Time Frame: 5 years from recruitment day ]Time between recruitment date and local and distant recurrence date or end of the 5-year follow-up which ever occurs first
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Time between recruitment date and death date or end of 5-year follow-up which ever occurs first
- Disease free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Time between recruitment date and recurrence (local or distant) or death or end of 5-year follow-up which ever occurs first
- Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline, one year and three years ]Quality of life assessments using the SF36, the FACIT (fatigue questionnaire) and the HADS (Anxiety and depression)
- Changes in biomarkers [ Time Frame: Baseline and one year ]
Biomarkers related to:
- sex hormone profile,
- dietary intake,
- insulin resistance,
- inflammation process
- and any biomarker possibly related to the progression of the disease.
