Abstract
Context:Lifestylemodificationsconsistofthreecomponentsincludingdiet,exercise,andcognitive-behavioraltherapywhichcan
reduce side effects of breast cancer. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a complementary strategy that promotes new skills for any
treatment. Publishedtrialshaveinvestigatedtheco-efficaciesof thetwoorthreecomponentsof lifestylemodifications,especially
dietaryandcognitive-behavioralinterventionsinbreastcancersurvivors.
EvidenceAcquisition: Thisprotocolisaboutameta-analysiswhichwillsystematicallyreportthesimultaneouseffectsof dietary
intervention or physical activity with cognitive-behavioral therapy, or three of them on quality of life, the recurrence levels and
anthropometricmeasurementsamongpatientswithbreastcancerandsurvivors. ItwaspreparedinaccordancewiththePRISMA-
P checklist and will be performed in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic reviews of intervention. Cochrane
