Exercise for Cancer Patients and Survivors
概要
TLDRThe presentation emphasizes the critical role of exercise for cancer patients and survivors, highlighting both physiological and psychological benefits during and after treatment. Exercise has shown to enhance cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, bone health, and body composition. It improves range of motion, balance, and flexibility. Importantly, exercise can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, especially in breast, colon, and prostate cancers. Psychological benefits include decreased anxiety, depression, and fatigue while improving mood, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) began advocating for exercise in cancer care in 2010, followed by endorsements from the American Cancer Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. These guidelines propose incorporating exercise as a vital component of cancer treatment and survivorship care, supported by peer-reviewed evidence. While BMI concerns are noted, patients often emphasize the quality of life over their BMI.

The speaker discusses the importance of recognizing cancer survivors not just for their triumph over cancer, but for enduring toxic treatments with adverse effects. They highlight the role of exercise in improving physiological outcomes in cancer patients and survivors, such as cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and reduced cancer recurrence risk. Exercise also improves symptoms like anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Despite initial resistance, guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), American Cancer Society, and National Comprehensive Cancer Network now endorse exercise, marking a pivotal step in exercise oncology.

Is exercise beneficial for all types of cancers?
Although most research has focused on breast cancer, the benefits of exercise are expected to apply to other tumor types as well.
What organizations have published guidelines for exercise in cancer patients?
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the American Cancer Society, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network have published guidelines endorsing exercise for cancer patients.
Does exercise reduce the risk of cancer recurrence?
Yes, large epidemiologic observational studies have shown that exercise may reduce the risk of recurrence in breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
What physiological outcomes does exercise improve for cancer patients?
Exercise improves cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, bone health, body composition, range of motion, balance, and flexibility.
How does exercise affect the quality of life for cancer survivors?
Exercise improves mood, self-esteem, reduces anxiety and depression, reduces fatigue, and generally enhances quality of life for cancer survivors.
When were the guidelines for exercise and cancer published?
The American College of Sports Medicine published guidelines in 2010, followed by the American Cancer Society in 2012, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network in 2013.
What is the role of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network regarding exercise guidelines?
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network includes almost 50 large cancer centers and provides comprehensive care guidelines, acknowledging exercise as a key component in cancer treatment and survivorship care.
Does BMI affect cancer recurrence, according to patient perspectives?
Patients often prioritize quality of life over BMI, expressing more concern over living well rather than their BMI's role in cancer recurrence.
