The EORTCQLQ-C30 was used to assess the quality of life before intervention(1 day after chemotherapy)and after intervention( 7 days after chemotherapy). The cancer-related fatigue degree and Karnofsky performance score(KPS)were compared between two groups. Result〓 The overall score of EORTCQLQ-C30 and subscales score were increased in both two groups after intervention(P<0.05or P<0.01), and were higher in the massaged group than those of controls(P<0.01). Patients in the massaged group had less severity of cancer-related fatigue compared with those in the control group after intervention(P<0.05). Patients in the massaged group achieved a better improvement in KPS compared with those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Massage therapy can relieve cancer-related fatigue caused by chemotherapy on breast cancer, and improve patients’ quality of life and physical activity.
