简要总结
Cancer is the first most common cause of death in Taiwan. The application of surgery and chemoradiotherapy are used for treatment of patients with cancer. However, loss of muscle mass, low muscle strength, low physical performance, and sarcopenia are induced during chemoradiotherapy, consequently increased the risk of hematological toxicity and nonhematological toxicity, decreased quality of life and survival rate. It was reported that skeletal muscle can secretion of myokines, which contribute to muscle synthesis, growth, repair, or atrophy. Investigators suggest that detection of blood concentration of myokines and sarcopenia-related predictors can early detection potential individuals who are susceptibility to sarcopenia in cervical cancer patients receiving chemoradiotherapy. Also, resistance exercise was demonstrated to improve muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and sarcopenia. Investigators suggest that resistance exercise can prevent cervical cancer patients from sarcopenia and improve quality of life through regulation the concentration of myokines. However, there was no study has been investigated their relationships. Therefore, investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial study to estimate (1) the effect of resistance exercise, walking on regulation myokine secretion, improving skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, sarcopenia, and quality of life in cancer receiving chemoradiotherapy; (2) myokine level, muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and sarcopenia incidence in cancer patients before and after receiving chemoradiotherapy.

结局指标
主要结局
physical functional performance
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
This study plans to use the 5-time stand-up-sit test to assess physical functional performance. Five stand-up and sit-down tests lasting more than or equal to 12 seconds indicate that the patient's physical function performance is reduced.During the measurement, the patient is asked to sit on a chair about 40cm above the ground. The back of the chair is against the wall. The patient is asked to sit down against the back of the chair. The patient is asked to stand up. The patient is asked to do his best to stand up and stand upright five times continuously and without interruption. Sit down, keeping your hands folded on your chest.During the test, the patient stood up once and was asked to count the sounds. The test ended when the patient stood up for the fifth time.
muscle strength
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
Measuring the patient's muscle strength with a handgrip dynamometer(Hand Grip Strength, EH101, CAMYR, Guangdong)
the incidence of sarcopenia
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
The assessment of sarcopenia in this study uses the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) diagnostic criteria as the criteria for screening sarcopenia, including: (1) low muscle strength: handgrip strength \<28 kg for men, women \<18 kg; (2) low physical performance: 5 stand-up and sit-down tests greater than or equal to 12 seconds; (3) loss of appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM): bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) men \<7.0kg/m2, women \<5.7kg/m2. If the skeletal muscle mass of the limbs is reduced combined with weakened muscle strength or physical functional performance, it is called sarcopenia; if the skeletal muscle mass of the limbs is reduced, the muscle strength is weakened, and the physical functional performance is reduced at the same time, it is severe sarcopenia.
muscle mass
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
In order to avoid radiation exposure when patients undergo testing and to facilitate repeated measurements, this research plan will use the Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA) Inbody S10 to detect the skeletal muscle mass of the limbs of patients. The bioelectrical impedance analyzer is currently a commonly used analyzer for clinical measurement of body composition, using microcurrent to measure the human body.
The concentration of muscle hormones in the blood of cancer patients undergoing treatment
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
The specimen is collected based on the principle of collecting 5 mL of venous blood. The blood is injected into a special biochemical test tube containing Lithium heparin, an anticoagulant, and mixed gently to avoid blood coagulation and hemolysis. Centrifuge at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes, and separate the upper plasma for detection of muscle hormones in the blood, including: myonectin, irisin, decorin, fibroblast growth factor-21, interleukin-15, interleukin-6, myostatin, osteonectin, and brain-derived hormones.
effectively improve their quality of life
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks, then follow up for 1 year.
This study uses the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) to assess the quality of life of patients.
