Every Day Counts: A Lifestyle Program for Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer
Sponsored by Medical College of Wisconsin
About this study
This multi-site study is being conducted to examine dietary and activity patterns, body composition, blood and quality of life in breast cancer patients. The study will recruit 176 women with MBC in Milwaukee (n=88) and Chicago (n=88).
Aims/Objectives Aim 1. To examine the efficacy of the Every Day Counts intervention in producing significant post-intervention changes in multidimensional QOL in women with MBC. Hypothesis 1: Women randomized to the immediate EDC intervention (n=88) will exhibit greater improvements in multidimensional QOL compared to women randomized to the attention control (n=88). Aim 2. To investigate the mechanistic effects of the Every Day Counts intervention on body composition, adipokines, serum biomarkers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. Hypothesis 2: The EDC intervention leads to improved QOL through mediating factors including body composition, prognostic serum biomarkers of inflammation and/or insulin resistance. Exploratory Aim 3: To explore if microRNA (miRNA) signatures associat…
