Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.

Download or read book Exercise and Cancer Survivorship written by John Saxton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of exercise scientists are applying their skills collaboratively (with medics and physiotherapists) to clinical populations and investigating the effects of exercise in relation to wide-ranging clinical, pathophysiological and psycho-social outcomes. The book is aimed at final year Undergraduate and Master's level students of Exercise Science, who are interested in working with clinical populations such as cancer patients. Many university Sport and Exercise Science courses in the UK and USA now have modules which are focused on exercise for health, and cover aspects of exercise science which are appropriate for clinical populations. The book would also be a very valuable resource for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Physiotherapy courses and a very useful resource for students of Exercise Science and Physiotherapy, as well as practitioners working with cancer patients.There are an increasing amount of research opportunities for exercise scientists who are interested in working with clinical populations. Furthermore, a considerable amount of Government and Charity research funding is being targeted at active lifestyles and this is helping to generate a new culture of collaboration between exercise scientists and medics. Hence, it is highly likely that an increasing number of students from Sport and Exercise Science courses will pursue careers within the clinical realm in the future. Practicing exercise therapists, clinical exercise physiologists and physiotherapists would also find lots of useful up-to-date knowledge to support their evidence-based clinical practice. This book would also be of interest to informed readers who are themselves undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.

This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship presents the science behind the benefits of exercise for cancer survival and survivorship as well as the application of that science to the design or adaptation of exercise programs for cancer patients and survivors. Developed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), this authoritative reference offers the most current information for health and fitness professionals working with survivors of many types of cancers. Dr. Melinda L. Irwin has assembled a team of the most respected experts in the field of exercise and cancer survivorship. With an emphasis on practical application, the text discusses the following: • Incidence and prevalence of the most common cancers • Common cancer treatments and side effects • Benefits of exercise after a diagnosis of cancer • Exercise testing, prescription, and programming • Nutrition and weight management • Counseling for health behavior change • Injury prevention • Program administration This guide presents evidence-based information to assist health, fitness, and medical professionals in using exercise to help cancer survivors with recovery, rehabilitation, and reducing the risk of recurrence. Throughout the text, readers will find quick-reference Take-Home Messages that highlight key information and how it can be applied in practice. Chapters also include reproducible forms and questionnaires to facilitate the implementation of an exercise program with a new client or patient, such as physician’s permission forms, medical and cancer treatment history forms, weekly logs of exercise and energy levels, medication listings, and nutrition and goal-setting questionnaires. In addition, ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship discusses all of the job task analysis points tested in the ACSM/ACS Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer (CET) exam, making this the most complete resource available for health and fitness professionals studying to attain CET certification. Each chapter begins with a list of the CET exam points discussed in that chapter. A complete listing is also included in the appendix. As both an essential preparation text for certification and a practical reference, ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship will increase health and fitness professionals’ knowledge of the benefits of exercise after a cancer diagnosis as well as the specifics of developing and adapting exercise programs to meet the unique needs of cancer survivors. Evidence has shown that physical activity has numerous health benefits for cancer patients and survivors. More clinicians and oncologists are recommending exercise as a strategy for reducing the side effects of treatment, speeding recovery, and improving overall quality of life. In turn, cancer survivors are seeking health and fitness professionals with knowledge and experience to help them learn how to exercise safely within their capabilities. With ACSM’s Guide to Exercise and Cancer Survivorship, health and fitness professionals can provide safe exercise programs to help cancer survivors improve their health, take proactive steps toward preventing recurrences, and enhance their quality of life.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise has become an integral part of breast-cancer rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation. While health benefits of physical exercise training are well characterised for these periods, much less is known about the effectiveness of exercise training during breast-cancer treatment, i.e. while receiving chemo- or radiotherapy. The aim of this piece of work was to close this gap. For these purposes, a systematic review, following the rigorous review methodology of the Cochrane Collaboration, was conducted. Results indeed indicate that important physical and mental health outcomes, such as health-related physical fitness, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, can be improved through regular exercise training. Currently, there is no evidence of harm (e.g. an increased risk of injury or lymphedema) from moderate physical exercise during breast-cancer treatment. Thus, the results of this systematic review support recommending and encouraging women undergoing adjuvant treatment of breast-cancer to exercise.

Download or read book The Effect of Pre-diagnosis Physical Activity on Breast Cancer Outcomes written by Dan Lin and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated an inverse dose-response association between recreational physical activity level and breast cancer risk. The strength of association varies by the type of hormone receptor (HR) status, being more pronounced for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and progesterone receptor-negative (PR-) tumors. The exact nature of this inverse relationship remains unclear. The interval from menarche to first pregnancy is a specific window of susceptibility (WOS), as breast tissue during this phase is relatively undifferentiated and potentially more vulnerable to carcinogenetic exposures. A higher recreational physical activity level during this WOS may be effective in reducing breast cancer risk. However, the extent of this association, particularly in relation to HR status, has not been extensively explored. Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated that a higher recreational physical activity level before breast cancer diagnosis has been associated with a lower all-cause mortality and a lower breast cancer-specific mortality in breast cancer patients. However, the association between pre-diagnosis physical activity level and breast cancer recurrence is unclear. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), a systematic therapy given before surgery, is the standard of care for locally advanced breast cancer. Enhanced treatment tolerance and treatment efficacy (defined as pathological complete response [pCR]) following NACT are considered favorable prognostic factors of improved long-term survival. A higher pre-diagnosis physical activity level may positively influence survival through the improvement of treatment tolerance and efficacy. This improvement might stem from reduced cardiotoxicity and enhanced physical fitness, enabling breast cancer patients to better endure chemotherapy. However, the association of pre-diagnosis physical activity level with treatment tolerance and treatment efficacy in breast cancer patients receiving NACT remains unclear. The association between physical activity level and breast cancer outcomes may be attributed to physical activity's role in reducing inflammation. Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated that higher physical activity level is associated with lower white blood cell (WBC) count, and lower neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in both healthy and disease populations, suggesting physical activity may reduce inflammation by altering the cellular composition in peripheral blood. However, associations between physical activity level and other peripheral immune cell populations, such as platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), are not clear. In addition, the association in females is not well established. The dissertation has four specific aims: 1) examine the association between recreational physical activity level from menarche-to-first pregnancy and breast cancer risk overall and by HR status, 2) examine the association between pre-diagnosis recreational physical activity level and risk of breast cancer recurrence, 3) examine the association between pre-diagnosis physical activity level and treatment tolerance and treatment efficacy (pCR) in breast cancer patients reeving NACT, and 4) examine the association between physical activity level and peripheral immune cell populations in a national representative US female population. Aim 1 utilized the California Teachers Study (a cohort of more than 133,000 women who worked in the educational system in California, n=78,940 for the analysis). Our overall finding was that women with a higher physical activity level during menarche-to-first pregnancy had lower risk of breast cancer overall (>=40 vs. 9 MET-hrs/wk: HR=0.89, 95% CI=0.83-0.97). However, the association went away after additional adjusted for physical activity level after first pregnancy. An inverse association between physical activity level and risk of triple-negative subtype was observed (=40 vs. 9 MET-hrs/wk: HR=0.53, 95% CI=0.32-0.87). A higher physical activity level was associated with a lower breast cancer risk among women with moderate (15-19 years) menarche-to-first pregnancy intervals (=40 vs. 9 MET-hrs/wk: HR=0.80, 95% CI=0.69-0.92) only, but not with short (15 years) or long (=20 years) intervals. Aim 2 examined stage I-IIIb breast cancer survivors (n=6,479) from the same cohort study. An inverse association between pre-diagnosis recreational physical activity level and breast cancer recurrence was observed in ER-PR- cases (=26.0 vs.

This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is well established that the worldwide pandemic of overweight and obesity has profound effects on promoting cancer, it is now recognized that an alternative aspect of energy balance, namely physical activity and exercise have significant beneficial effects on all aspects of cancer across the spectrum from prevention through treatment and extending through survivorship. Moreover, salutary effects of physical activity and exercise extend across the age span from youth to old age and occur at all stages of cancer extending into palliative care. While the effect of physical activity and exercise on cancer may be partially mediated through obesity control, it is clear that considerable research is required and is ongoing at both the molecular and clinical levels to better understand the associated mechanisms and to develop optimal exercise strategies. This volume will contain chapters on the effect of exercise on biological pathways in tumor growth, state art exercise strategies and cutting edge research focused on different cancers and patient groups. It will provide an important volume in this series on energy balance and cancer and a basis for ongoing research, experimental approaches and application of evidence based practices to clinical care for patients with cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Physical activity after a diagnosis of breast cancer is associated multiple positive effects. However, the literature indicates that patients' activity decreases during chemotherapy. Little is known about when during chemotherapy activity changes, as existing research has relied on self-reported data. Monitoring devices like accelerometers offer more objective measures, nevertheless, these devices may introduce other sources of measurement error. Methods: Chapters 1 and 2 leverage data from Reach for Health (RFH), a trial that encouraged increased physical activity among breast cancer survivors. At baseline and study completion, participants wore accelerometers and answered the GPAQ. Chapter 1 uses the GPAQ estimates along with accelerometer measures, processed using standard cut-points and a machine learning algorithm, to assess agreement of activity estimates. Comparisons are assessed using mixed effects regression models. Chapter 2 uses a pseudo-simulation to generate missing wear patterns. The simulated and true data is used to compare 6 possible techniques to account for missing accelerometer wear. Chapter 3 analyzed the Activity in Treatment (ACT) study which enrolled 32 women prior to starting chemotherapy for breast cancer, all women were given a Fitbit activity monitor to wear throughout chemotherapy. Restricted cubic splines assessed non-linear patterns of activity. Results: At baseline, self-report and machine learning provided similar activity estimates; while estimates of activity change were only similar between cut-point and machine learning, the magnitude of agreement with self-report was differential by group. Random slope imputation and an accelerometer specific multiple imputation performed best in correcting for missing wear time. MVPA declined linearly at an average of 1.4 min/day (p=0.002) for every 10% of the duration of chemotherapy that passed, while TPA declined linearly at an average of 13.4 min/day (p=0.0007) for every 10% of chemotherapy that passed. This decline occurred until approximately half way through chemotherapy. Additionally, a HER2+ receptor status was associated with a greater rate of decline in MVPA. Discussion: Our findings highlight the importance of targeting physical activity interventions during active treatment for breast cancer and increases our ability to standardize research practices regarding the processing and analysis of physical activity data.
