Exercise and physiotherapy for enhancing muscle strength, managing lower-limb lymphedema, and improving sexual function in the treatment and survivorship of gynecological cancers.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gynecological neoplasms, encompassing ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, frequently lead to considerable physical and functional disabilities as a result of surgical intervention, radiotherapy, and pharmacological treatments such as chemotherapy. Prominent among the most prevalent sequelae are muscular weakness, lymphedema of the lower extremities, and sexual dysfunction, which together undermine quality of life and long-term survivorship. Recent scholarly evidence underscores the significance of exercise and physiotherapeutic interventions in alleviating these detrimental consequences. Resistance training and multimodal exercise regimens have demonstrated efficacy in augmenting muscular strength, thereby enhancing functional autonomy and overall physical capability in survivors of gynecological malignancies. Interventions grounded in physiotherapy, which encompass lymphatic drainage techniques and specialized rehabilitation programs, are effective in the management of lower-limb lymphedema, leading to a reduction in swelling, discomfort, and the potential for secondary complications. Moreover, rehabilitation of the pelvic floor and regimented physical activity can exert a beneficial effect on sexual function, particularly in relation to arousal, orgasmic dysfunctions, and concomitant discomfort. Preclinical investigations further substantiate the mechanistic framework underlying these interventions, revealing advancements in muscle morphology, lymphatic flow, and neuromuscular capabilities. Notwithstanding these encouraging results, the variability in intervention methodologies and outcome assessment presents a significant constraint. This review amalgamates the existing clinical and preclinical literature regarding exercise and physiotherapeutic approaches, underscoring their combined efficacy in augmenting muscular strength, managing lymphedema, and enhancing sexual health within the context of gynecologic oncology. Such revelations may pave the way for future research endeavors and facilitate the formulation of individualized, multimodal rehabilitation strategies aimed at optimizing survivorship outcomes.
