BALNEOTHERAPY FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING ENDOCRINE THERAPY

Sponsor: Parc de Salut Mar

Summary

Endocrine therapy is the mainstay of adjuvant therapy in premenopausal women with hormone receptive-positive (HR+) breast cancer as it has been demonstrated that it reduces long-term recurrences and increases survivial. However, this therapy, which suppresses estrogen production and estrogen-induced effects, is associated with the development of joint pain which can significantly reduce quality of life and lead to treatment discontinuation. The main question the study aims o answer is: Can balneotherapy (BT) alleviate muscle-skeletal pain (primary objective) derived from endocrine therapy and improve quality of life (secondary objective) in young women with HR+ breast cancer?
