Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in Chinese women. Conventional cancer treatments can increase the survival but often cause cardiovascular complications that compromise quality of life. Findings from previous exploratory studies showed that Tai Chi Qigong (TCQ) might induce favourable cardiovascular changes in cancer survivors. We aimed to assess the efficacy of a TCQ programme in improving arterial haemodynamics and quality of life in breast cancer survivors.
