Obese breast cancer survivors have increased risk of recurrence and death compared to their normal weight counterparts. Rural women have significantly higher obesity rates, thus weight control intervention may be a key strategy for prevention of breast cancer recurrence in this population. This one-arm treatment study examined the impact of a group-based weight control intervention delivered through conference call technology to obese breast cancer survivors living in remote rural locations. The intervention included a reduced calorie diet incorporating prepackaged entrees and shakes, physical activity gradually increased to 225 min/week of moderate intensity exercise, and weekly group phone sessions. Outcomes included anthropomorphic, diet, physical activity, serum biomarker, and quality of life changes. Ninety-one percent of participants (31 of 34) attended > 75% of intervention sessions and completed post-treatment data collection visits. At 6 months, significant changes were observed for weight (-12.5 +/- A 5.8 kg, 13.9% of baseline weight), waist circumference (-9.4 +/- A 6.3 cm), daily energy intake (-349 +/- A 550 kcal/day), fruits, and vegetables (+3.7 +/- A 4.3 servings/day), percent kcal from fat (-12.6 +/- A 8.6%), physical activity (+1235 +/- A 832 kcal/week; all P values < 0.001), as well as significant reductions in fasting insulin (16.7% reduction, P = 0.006), and leptin (37.1% reduction, P < 0.001). Significant improvements were also seen for quality of life domains including mood, body image, and sexuality. In conclusion, the intervention produced > 10% weight loss as well as significant improvements across multiple endpoints. The group phone-based treatment delivery approach may help disseminate effective weight control intervention to hard-to-reach breast cancer survivors.
