Summary

This study tested whether a personalized telephone-based weight loss program could help reduce fatigue in overweight or obese breast cancer survivors. 220 participants who had finished active treatment for early-stage breast cancer were enrolled. The program provided motivational coaching on diet and exercise over one year, and fatigue was measured using a standard questionnaire.
