Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to quantitatively assess the systemic edema, QOL, and related factors in patients with breast cancer being treated with docetaxel.We performed a prospective cohort study between September 2019 and April 2022.37 patients were enrolled. Patients were examined from the start to 2 months later. We also compared the QOL of patients with and without edema. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify related factors.Systemic edema developed in 66% of the participants, and it was most prevalent at the end of treatment. Participants with systemic edema experienced more physical, vital, and emotional distress 1 month after treatment than those without. Body mass index and fat masswere associated with systemic edema.Systemic edema developed after treatment and might increase distress in patients with high BMI and body fat.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ドセタキセルの化学療法に伴う全身性浮腫の発生頻度や部位、時期などを定量的に評価したものは少ないため、今回の研究結果は、新たな知見であると考えられる。また浮腫を体験している患者の生活面の支障や、関連要因について高脂肪や高BMI患者にみられる傾向を示すことができ、ハイリスク患者を特定することが出来た。今後の治療を行う患者に対して、事前に情報提供を行い、患者へのセルフマネジメントを促す患者指導が行うことが重要であり、より詳細な情報を提供できる点では、意義が大きいと考えられる。
