ObjectivesBriefly discuss the benefits of physical
activity and its role in cancer preventionDetermine the effects of physical activity
during and after cancer treatmentDetermine the effects of physical activity on
cancer recurrence and survivalReview exercise guidelines and precautions
for cancer survivorsDetermine the role of PT in cancer treatment Discuss opportunities for community
outreach and student involvement
Benefits of Exercise/ Physical Activity 1
Control Your Weight
Reduce Your Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Reduce Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Metaboloic Syndrome
Strengthen your Bones and Muscles
Improve your mental health and mood
Improve function and balance
Increase your chances of living longer
Physical Activity and Cancer Prevention
Center for Disease Control: Physical activity is connected to a lower risk of breast and colon cancer 1
National Cancer Institute: Physical activity is connected to a lower risk of breast, colon, possibly lung and endometrial cancers 2
American Cancer Society: Physical activity may reduce the risk of breast, colon, endometrial, and prostate cancer 3
Physical Activity and Cancer Prevention4,5
Global data indicates a 25% reduction in breast cancer risk in physically active women compared to those who are least active 4
It is estimated that 20-30% of cancers may be related to being overweight and/or lack of physical activity 5
Prolonged sitting (>4 hours per day) has been associated with increased risk of cancer even with regular exercise 4
We don’t always have control! 3
Odds of being diagnosed with cancer in lifetime: Males 1 in 2 Females 1 in 3
Odds of dying from cancer: Males 1 in 4 Females 1 in 5
What if you already have a Diagnosis?
It is estimated that women decrease their activity level by 2 hours per week after a diagnosis of breast cancer6
What actions can we take?
Up until the late 1980s, standard recommendation was to rest and avoid exercise 7
It’s time to change our way of thinking and get involved!
Systematic Review: Physical exercise in cancer patients during and after medical treatment 8
Exercise improved the following during breast, mixed solid tumor and blood cancer treatment :Improved QOL- mood, psychological well beingIncreased aerobic capacity (endurance, breathing)Increased muscle strength Symptom relief- fatigue, nausea, pain, difficulty
sleeping, diarrheaIncreased bone mineral density in patients with
breast cancer and solid tumorsImproved body composition in patients with
breast and blood cancer
Systematic Review: Physical exercise in cancer patients during and after medical treatment
Mixed Solid Tumor:Boosts natural-killer cell activity
High-Dose Chemotherapy following Bone Marrow and Bone Stem Cell Transplant: Days in the hospital Creatinine exertion (Kidney Function)Neutropenia (low white blood cell count) Hemoglobin (carry oxygen) Lymphocytes and cell counts improved
Systematic Review: Physical exercise in cancer patients during and after medical treatment 8
Breast Cancer and Mixed Solid Tumors:Aerobic capacityFatigue, anxiety, depressionSelf Reported Quality of Life, including mood
and self- esteem Increase in physical strength and walking
distance
Systematic Review: Physical exercise in cancer patients during and after medical treatment 8
Following Breast cancer treatment:Positive cardiopulmonary changesPositive changes in Insulin-like growth factors (IGF1)
and Binding Proteins (IGFBP-3and -1)- High levels of IGF1 and Low levels of IGFBP-3 are associated with cancer recurrence and an adverse prognosis
Following Mixed Solid Tumor Treatment Decrease in body fat Increased flexibility Improved body avoidance Increased “fighting spirit”
New Research: The Journal of National Cancer Institute- March 20159Hypoxic tumors can be relatively impervious
to treatment Exercise improves post-ischemia to normal
tissue…what about tumors?Study focused on:
Improving oxygen to tumors through aerobic exercise in mice Estrogen Receptor (+) and (-) tumor cells 4 groups: sedentary, exercise, sedentary + chemo,
exercise + chemo
New Research: The Journal of National Cancer Institute- March 2015Aerobic exercise slowed the growth of breast
cancer tumors AND made the cancer more sensitive to chemotherapy
Decrease Tumor Growth 1.4 fold increase in apoptosis
Physical Activity and Survival 10 Nearly 3,000 female nurses with Stage I, II, or III
breast cancer followed from 1984 to 2004 through questionnaires
Studied reoccurrence and mortalityPhysical activity was re-assessed every 2 years
through a questionnaire Recorded number of hours per week walking at
an average pace (2-2.9mph)
Physical Activity and Survival: Results
5 Year Survival Rates:1-5 hours a week = 97%<1 hour per week = 93%Absolute Risk Reduction: 4%
10 Year Survival Rates: 3-5 hours per week = 92%1-3 hours per week = 89%<1 hour per week = 86%Absolute Risk Reduction: 6%
Physical Activity and Survival: Results Beneficial to all women regardless of:
Stage of diseaseMenopause statusActivity level prior to diagnosisWeight
Physical Activity and Survival: Results
The reduction in risk of adverse outcomes including mortality and breast cancer recurrence was 26-40%
Women who engaged in physical activity equivalent to walking 1 or more hours per week had better survival compared to those who exercised less or not all.
Maximum Benefit walking 3-5 hours per week at an average pace (2-2.9mph)
Variations in physical activity dosage4,11,12,13,14
Physical activity and prognosis 12
75% of studies conducted in patients with breast, prostate, GI, ovarian, glioma, and non-small cell lung cancer found a significant inverse relationship between exercise and prognosis
Range of risk reduction for cancer specific or all cause mortality: 15- 67% and 18%- 67% respectively
What Should We Recommend?The extent of risk reduction is dependent on many variables 8, 12:
Type of cancerStage of disease Exercise prescription and type Study design Patient lifestyleGenetics?
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Guidelines- Adopted by the American Cancer Society (ACS)
ACSM:Exercise Guidelines15,16
ACSM: Cancer Specific Considerations
ACSM: Precautions for Exercise
TABLE 3. Exercise prescription for cancer survivors.15
ACSM Guidelines: other considerations15
Cardiac conditions will require modifications and may require increased supervision
Allow adequate time to heal after surgeryAvoid exercise during periods of extreme
fatigue, anemia, dizziness, low platelet count, nausea, or ataxia
Physical Therapy Role
Supervised vs Home Based vs Usual care 7, 18 Exercise Prescriptions should be
individualized 15, 17
Most patients were interested in receiving physical activity information preferably by an exercise specialist. 15
Adherence: only about ½ of patients who were offered an exercise program actually undertook and completed it. 19
