This study analyzed 132 patients with breast
cancer receiving hormonal therapy to identify
menopausal symptoms, participants’ overall QOL,
the correlation between symptoms and QOL, the
influence of various types of hormonal therapy
on the severity of symptoms, and the influence
of physical exercise on participants’ overall QOL.
Just as in other studies, hot flashes was the most
common symptom (at all levels of severity) (Alfano
et al., 2006; Glaus et al., 2006).
