Introduction
Breast cancer significantly impacts dimensions of
quality of life such as mental health, one’s level of activity, fam-
ily well-being, physical concerns (symptoms and pain), treatment
satisfaction, emotional well-being, sexual intimacy, and social
functioning.
Aim
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the type
of surgery on the quality of life of women being treated for breast
cancer, based on the comparison of samples of women who have
undergone different types of surgery.
Method
Our sample consists of 90 Portuguese women divided
into three groups of 30 participants each. The first group under-
went radical surgery inorder to treat their breast cancer. The second
group of women had conservative surgery as a breast cancer treat-
ment. Finally, the last group of women did not have any type of
surgical intervention. We use a socio-demographic questionnaire
and the Portuguese version of the EORTC QLQ-30 as measurement
instruments. The sample consists of patients froma central hospital
in Lisbon, Portugal, and the data were collected anonymously.
Results
We find that in all dimensions of quality of life measured,
including general health, physical functioning, social roles, and all
emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions, the group of women
who underwent radical surgery shows lower scores when com-
pared to the other two groups. This indicates that this group has
lower levels of quality of life.
Conclusion
The use of surgery for the treatment of breast cancer
leads to a diminished quality of life following surgical intervention.

Background
Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) have shown
efficacy in improving psychological symptoms including depres-
sion and anxiety in cancer patients (pts). The study aimed to explore
feasibility and reproducibility of MBIs in an Italian Cancer Centre
measuring biochemical and psychological parameters.
Methods
In this pilot prospective case-control study, we
recruited newly diagnosed pts receiving adjuvant chemotherapy
(CT). A MBIs program was designed consisting of 2.5 hours weekly
for 8 weeks and, including meditation, yoga and body scan. Mate-
rial for 45minutes (mn) home daily practice was provided. Primary
endpoint was to evaluate feasibility. Secondary endpoints were
assessment of quality of life (QoL), psychological and biochemical
outcomes of stress, tested at baseline (W0), W4, W8, W24, W48. PSS
(Perceived Stress Reduction), POMS (profile of mood states scores),
EuroQoL (EQ-5D-3L) were administered.
Results
Ten pts underwent MBIs program arm. We present pre-
liminary results, while data of control arm are being collected.
All pts were female, two pts (20%) dropped out. Median age
was 56 years. All received adjuvant CT, 5/8 received radiotherapy
and hormone therapy. Mean of sessions attending was 6.8 (76%).
Median daily practice was 30 mn. EQ-5D item for depression and
anxiety showed decreasing trend in mean score from moderate to
light (
P
= 0.15) and significant improvement of auto-perceived QoL
was observed comparing W0 and W8 (
P
= 0.02)
Conclusions
In a sensitive setting such as start CT, we found high
pts compliance to MBIs. Improvement in self-perceived QoL after
starting program was found and comparing anxious-depressive
symptoms outcomes with control arm is still needed.

Background
The treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) can trigger a
sequence of life-altering decisions that can induce depression and
effects onhealth-relatedquality of
life.Weaimed to simultaneously
compare all available psychosocial interventions using both direct
and indirect data.
Methods
In this systematic review and network meta-analysis,
we searched the Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane cen-
tral register of controlled trials for randomized controlled trials
(RCT) published before Oct, 2016, that compared active treat-
ments dealing with psychosocial problems in PCa patients after
treatment. The primary outcome was health-related quality of
life improvement as measured by the 36-Item Short-Form Health
Survey (SF-36). Psychologicalmorbiditywas assessedwith theHos-
pital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). This study is registered
with PROSPERO, number CRD42016049621.
Results
We screened 113 potentially eligible studies and identi-
fied 31 RCTs, that examined 7 psychosocial interventions in 3643
PCa participants. In terms of SF-36, cognitive behavioral therapy
