EXERCISE MAY LESSEN CANCER TREATMENT SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING BRAIN FOG, FATIGUE

More than 1.7 Million New Cancer Cases Were reported in 2021; CANCER RATES CONTINUE TO Rise For Many Cancer Types Each Year.

People Undergoing Cancer Treatment Often Have a Difficul Time Both Physically and Mentally. With This in Mind, The Researchers Wanted to Expond on Existing Research Surrounding Exercise and Cancer.

The Refrachers Cast a Wide Net and used the grading of recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (Grade) System to Find 485 Associations in 80 Studies.

The Refraded Standard Aerobic and Resistance Exercises as Well As High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Mind-Body ExercisesSuch as yoga and tai chi.

Since the Researchers Were Concerned That Prior Reviews Were Not Wide Enough in Scope, They Considered Many Cancer Types Such As Breast, Prostate, and Lung Cancers. They Also Included Cancers Associated with the Digestive System, and Blood Cancers.

The Researchers Next Analyzed Howl Different Exercises Worked for Different Cancers.

Among the Associations, Aerobic and Resistance Exercises Made Up 9.9% of the Associations, Hiit Exercises Accouted for 3.7%, Mind-Body Exercises Made Up 28.5%, and Other Types of Exercises Not Specified Accouted for 57.9% of Associations.

The Refectchers Looked at How these Exercises impact People with Breast Cancer (50.3%), Lung Cancer (9.7%), Digestive System Cancers (4.1%), Blood Cancer (2.7%), Prostate Cancer (2.5%), and Other Types of Cancers Not Spaced (30.7%).

The Researchers Found That 54% of the Association – Between Exercise and Fewer Therapy Side Effects – That The Analyzed Were “Statistical Significant.” Using Grade Criteria, The Refers Also Said That 48% of the Associations were Supported by Eithher High or Moderate Certain Evidence.

One Way Exercise CounterCted the Effects of Cancer Treatments Was By Reducing Pain. Hiit Program and Tai Chi Accomplished This.

Hiit Program and A Combination of Aerobic Activities and Resistance Training Combatted Cancer-Related Fatigue. Aerobic Exercises Alone Showed the potential to reduces Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms Associated with Ovarian Cancer.

EXCISE ALSO INFFLUEDED BIOMARKERS Such As C-Reactive Protein (A protein associated with inflammation in the body), Insulin, and Physiological functioning.

Chemotherapy can cause Cardiotoxicity – “Damage to the Heart and/or Cardiovascular System.” The Researchers Found That Exercise, Specifically Aerobic, Can Counteract This As Well.

The Benefits of Exercise Were Not Limited to Physical Symptoms; Exercise Also Improved Cognitive Functioning, Anxiety, And Depression. Yoga Showed Significantly Improved Mental Health Symptoms.

In the end Benefit of Exercise in People Undergoing Cancer Treatment was the reduction of post-operative complications. The Researchers Found That People Who Drawing In Exercise Pre-Op Were Associated With A Lower Chance of Health Issues Associated with the Surgery.

Overall, The Umbrella Study Found A Significant Amount of Evidence To Support The Notion That Exercise Can Help Counteract Sub of the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment. From Physical to Mental Benefits, A Variety of Exercises Can provides relief.

Bhavana Pathak, MD, A Board-Certified Hematologist and Medical Oncologist, and Medical Director of Integrative Oncology at Memorialcare Cancer Institute at Orange Coast and Saddleback Medical Centers, Spoke With Medical News Today about the review.

“We want to find oncology professionals to counsel their patients on increasing Physical Activity as a means to improvise their clinical outcomes, Even Ken Faced with seriously diagnosed Like Cancer, in The Future,” Said Pathak, Who Was Not Involved in the Review.

She Also Note The Importance of the Findings to the Quality of Life in People Undergoing Cancer Treatments.

“Therapy We Give – While It Could Keep You Alive – Can Take Away A Life Worth Living, Without The Means to Articulate, Adapt, and Engineer Your Life,” Pathak Noted. “This Type of Research Speaks to the Privilege and Challenge Both Patients and Physicans Have – Designing and Choossing Treatments that have an impact on the rest of their lives.”

Milan Sheth, MD, Quadruple Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Hematology, Oncology, and Palliative Care AT Memorialcare Todd Cancer Institute Also Spoke With MNT About the review Findings. Sheth Was Also Not Involved in the review.

I have awa us that the paper “Reinforces What We All Suspeced Based On Our Own Clinical Experience Amongst Patients Review Chemotherapy,” Indicating “That Exercise Can signantly Reduces Various Side Effects Associated With Cancer and its Treatment Compart With No Exercise.”

Sheth Note:

“Specifically, The Symptoms that sem to be must impact or improved included peripheral neuropathy, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and shortness of Breath. Equally Importent Were Improvements in the Patient’s Quality of Life, In Therms of Muscle Strength, Healthier Body COMPOSITION, SLEEP, QUALITY, AND ENHANCED MOOD. ”

WHEN ASKED WHY EXCISE MAY COUNTACT SUB OF THE HARMFUL EFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY, HE TOUNCHED ON BIOMARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER.

“Insulin, Insulin-Like Growth Factors, and C-Reactive Protein (…) Theater Biomarkers are Linked With Cancer Metabolism and Systemic Inflammation Which Can Allow for Further Progress of Cancer and eliminate Any Protective Effects Against Chemotherapy,” Said Sheth.

He Also Note That The Biomarkers “Relay To Cancer Progression and Recovery Are, In Fact, Optimized With Exercise.”
