Post-therapeutic support and rehabilitation for breast cancer women in complete remission in a thermal resort: study protocol for the PACThe Real-Life conditions observational trial.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05433077 (Real Life Pacthe), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundOver the past twenty years, the post-cancer rehabilitation has been developed, usually in a hospital setting. Although this allows better care organization and improved security, it is perceived as stressful and restrictive by the "cancer survivor". Therefore, the transfer of benefits to everyday life is more difficult, or even uncertain. Staying in a thermal resort seemed to offer a good compromise: the security and structure of centralized reception in a thermal resort for treatment and medical supervision, and accommodation in a hotel with full dietary board. It combines institutional quality and security with the freedom of real life and the dynamics of a group formed under innovative conditions. This rehabilitation procedure was tested with the program PACThe (Program of Accompanying women after breast Cancer treatment completion in Thermal resorts) which was evaluated at one year in a randomized controlled trial involving 251 patients [1] and at five years in another study [2]. The results shown a significative improvement in many areas such as quality of life, functional abilities and sleep. The aim of this study is therefore to confirm the benefits of the PACThe program at six months for breast cancer women in complete remission in real-life conditions.
methodsThe project PACThe Real-Life conditions is an observational trial in which 400 breast cancer women in complete remission will be sent to a 3 week thermal "post-cancer rehabilitation" program. Primary objective is to assess the quality of life until 12 months. The outcome will be measured with the self-questionnaire SF-36 [3] at five timepoints (inclusion visit, end of thermal resort, 6 months post-cure, 12 months post-cure and 18 months post-cure). The duration of patient participation in the study will therefore be 18 months. The main analysis will consist of comparing the SF-36 global score at 6 months with the baseline. DISCUSSION: This study aims to investigate the improvements in quality of life of 3 weeks stay at thermal resort for breast cancer women in complete remission. The comprehensive overview of the program PACThe will likely contribute to enhancing thermal therapy post-cancer rehabilitation in this population in real life conditions.
trial registrationThe PACThe Real-Life conditions trial is a prospective observational study registered at the ANSM registry (2022-A00171-42) on March 1, 2022. This study has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05433077. PROTOCOL: version 4, 22 December 2022.
