Purpose: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), whether treatment-naïve (TN) or being treated (TRE), increases frailty risk. Underlying this is an abnormal reduction in aerobic fitness and strength. Previous exercise studies have failed to improve aerobic fitness, likely due to their generalised approach. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a 12-week precision exercise intervention in adults with...
Background: Persistent fatigue is a prevalent, complex and distressing late effect after cancer, but few treatment options exist. We tested the effect of a multidisciplinary intervention on fatigue in lymphoma survivors with persistent fatigue (≥6 months).
Patients and methods: Survivors mean 7 years post-treatment were randomly assigned to usual care (n=75) or a 12-week multidisciplinary...
Introduction
Metabolic dysfunction is a key driver of Endometrial cancer (EC), and contributes to disproportionately high rates of cardiometabolic disease, cardiovascular mortality, EC recurrence, and a two-fold reduction in overall survival after EC. Exercise imparts physiological adaptations including improved cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body composition, and glucose handling that...
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a highly prevalent and clinically relevant side-effect that not only diminishes patients’ quality of life but can also impact their medical treatment and survival. The side effects are burdensome, difficult to treat, and often become chronic. Currently, there are no effective pharmacological treatment options available. A meta-analysis has...
Background: Many studies demonstrate exercise is an effective adjunct therapy for prostate cancer, however, limited research has focused on metastatic prostate cancer. The current study examined the effects of supervised exercise on quality of life (QoL) in men with advanced prostate cancer.
Methods: In this multinational, randomized controlled trial, men with metastatic prostate cancer were...
