Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate (1) circadian rest-activity rhythm disturbances among endometrial cancer patients as they recover from surgery in comparison to a historical reference group of women with no cancer history and (2) health- and treatment-related predictors of dysregulated rest-activity rhythms in endometrial cancer patients. METHODS: 60 endometrial cancer patients participated in a prospective, longitudinal study with actigraphic assessment at 1week, 1month, and 4months post-surgery. 60 women without cancer from an epidemiological sample completed one actigraphic assessment, acting as a reference group. RESULTS: On average, results revealed initial significant rest-activity dysregulation at 1week and 1month post-surgery for the endometrial cancer group and then significant recovery in rest-activity patterns at 4months post-surgery. Similarly, the cancer group had significantly more impaired rhythms than the reference group at 1week post-surgery, but demonstrated comparable rhythms by 4months post-surgery. Among the health- and treatment-related variables examined, obesity and receipt of more invasive surgery were found to predict more impaired rhythms at all time points. CONCLUSION(S): The current study highlights significant disturbances in rest-activity patterns for endometrial cancer patients initially during surgical recovery followed by improvement in these patterns by 4months post-surgery; however, obese patients and those having more invasive surgery demonstrated more impaired rest-activity patterns throughout the 4-month recovery period. Further research is warranted to understand how more impaired rest-activity patterns relate to health and quality of life outcomes.
