Abstract:
Estrogen deficiency, inflammatory reactions, metabolic disorders, etc., are considered to be possible mechanisms leading to arthralgias (or joint pain) associated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in breast cancer patients. The use of exercise and other non-pharmacological means (such as vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acids, acupuncture, etc.) may relieve AIs-related arthralgia, and exercise may play a direct or indirect role to deal with the related pathogenesis. But the results of the studies are still controversial.
