  1. Focused Symposium: Breast Cancer & Exercise Presenters: Jill Binkley, PT, MSc (USA/Canada) Margaret McNeely, PT, PhD (Canada) Kristin Campbell, PT, PhD (Canada/USA)

  2. What is a “convenor”? • To convene: 1) to summon before a tribunal; 2) to cause to assemble[Merriam-Webster Dictionary] • Convenor (also convener): 1) a person who convenes a meeting of a committee; 2) a senior trade official at a workplace (British) [Oxford English Dictionary]

  3. Relevance of this Topic to WCPT • Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide • Although breast cancer mortality is decreasing due to treatment advances, these same treatments often result in significant morbidity (short-term and long-term)

  4. Relevance of this Topic to WCPT • The life-prolonging treatments for breast cancer -- axillary and chest surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy (and other adjuvant hormonal therapies) -- often lead to significant morbidity in the persons treated, e.g., lymphedema, loss of shoulder ROM, fatigue, weight gain, depression, reduced aerobic capacity

  5. Relevance of this Topic to WCPT To function as evidence-based practitioners, physical therapists working in women’s health, oncology, or general practice must be aware of the latest research that should then be translated to guide their practice. Our goal this AM is to update you on the most recent and relevant research on the topic of breast cancer and exercise, i.e., to translate that knowledge for you.

  6. Overall Course Objectives • To review current literature on the role of physical activity and provide implications for clinical practice for women living with breast cancer • To present clinical guidelines on UE rehabilitation for women living with breast cancer based on recent research

  7. Overall Course Objectives 3)To describe mechanisms of musculoskeletal dysfunction in women with breast cancer, including effects of surgery, radiation therapy and lymphedema 4) To facilitate discussion on how the evidence presented will be used to guide participants’ clinical practice or entry-level education of PT students
