Popis: Achieving a higher chemotherapy completion rate is associated with better outcomes in breast cancer patients. We examined the role of exercise and health-related fitness variables in predicting chemotherapy completion in early stage breast cancer patients. We pooled data from two large, multicenter, exercise trials that obtained baseline (pre-chemotherapy) measures of exercise and health-related fitness in 543 breast cancer patients initiating adjuvant chemotherapy. Assessments included body composition, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, patient-reported physical functioning, and self-reported exercise behavior. Chemotherapy completion was assessed as the average relative dose intensity (RDI) for the originally planned regimen. We used logistic regression analyses with a two-sided p value of
