    Input: OBJECTIVE To examine the changes from a combined exercise intervention after radical prostatectomy ( RP ) in elderly patients with prostate cancer , because r and omized controlled trials addressing exercise intervention after RP have been lacking . METHODS From May 2009 to May 2010 , all patients who underwent laparoscopic RP were assessed for eligibility . A total of 66 patients were r and omized to an exercise or a control group . The exercise group received a combined exercise intervention ( resistance , flexibility , and Kegel exercises ) twice a week for 12 weeks , and the control group received only Kegel exercises . The primary outcome was physical function , and the secondary outcomes were continence status and quality of life after the exercise intervention . RESULTS A total of 49 patients completed follow-up to the end of study . After the 12-week exercise intervention , except for grip strength , all physical functions were better in the exercise group than in the control group . The 24-hour pad test results ( 12.2 g in the exercise group , 46.2 g in the control group ) and continence rate ( 73.1 % in exercise group , 43.5 % in the control group ) recovered more promptly in the exercise group . On a question naire study using the International Consultation on Incontinence question naire , Beck Depression Inventory , and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form health survey , only the exercise group showed improvement at the last follow-up visit . CONCLUSION A 12-week combined exercise intervention after RP results in improvement of physical function , continence rate , and quality of life . These results could help with prompt recovery of daily activities INTRODUCTION And rogen deprivation therapy ( ADT ) is an important component of modern prostate cancer treatment . Survival benefits from neo-adjuvant and adjuvant hormones may take years to manifest , and balancing this with potential morbidity of therapy can be challenging . This study aim ed to assess whether education and short-term combined aerobic and resistance exercises could help to ameliorate the adverse side effects of ADT . METHODS Eight hundred fifty-nine patients with relapsed or metastatic prostate cancer on leuprorelin acetate  were allocated to three interventional streams based on patient preference and medical fitness : supervised group ( Face-to-Face ) exercise sessions , home-based ( At Home ) exercise or a support programme for those incapable of exercising ( Support ) . Patients enrolled onto Face to Face underwent measurement of body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness variables at baseline and programme completion . Patients in the exercise streams were surveyed to determine the programme 's impact on physical fitness and well-being . RESULTS Statistically significant improvements ( p < 0.001 ) were seen in all measured cardiorespiratory fitness and strength variables . Programme attrition rates were low ( 75/859 ; 8.7 % ) , the primary reason for withdrawal being discontinuation of hormones ( 70 % ) . Programme satisfaction was high , with 98 % of surveyed patients reporting a positive impact on fitness and 97 % planning to continue exercising after programme completion . At 6 months , improved physical and emotional well-being was reported by 93 and 79 % of patients , respectively . CONCLUSIONS A short-term structured exercise intervention results in high compliance and significant improvements in muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness in prostate cancer patients on ADT Summary Our r and omized controlled trial in prematurely menopausal breast cancer survivors showed that impact + resistance training prevented increases in percentage of body fat compared with controls and also improved BMD at the hip and prevented BMD loss at the spine among exercise-trained women who were menopausal for > 1 year . Introduction Cancer treatment-related menopause worsens bone health and body composition in breast cancer survivors ( BCS ) . We investigated whether impact + resistance training could improve bone mineral density ( BMD ) , reduce bone turnover , build muscle , and decrease fat mass in BCS with premature menopause . Methods We conducted a r and omized controlled trial in 71 BCS ( mean age , 46.5 years ) within 5 years of treatment-related menopause . Women were r and omly assigned to one of two groups : ( 1 ) impact + resistance training ( prevent osteoporosis with impact + resistance ( POWIR ) ) or ( 2 ) exercise placebo ( FLEX ) 3 × /week for 1 year . Outcomes were hip and spine BMD ( in grams per square centimeter ) and body composition ( percent body fat ( % BF ) and lean and fat mass ( in kilograms ) ) by DXA and bone turnover markers ( serum osteocalcin ( in nanograms per milliliter ) and urinary deoxypryrodinoline ( in nanomoles per milliliter ) . Results There were no significant group × time interactions for bone outcomes when using an intent-to-treat approach on the full sample . In analyses restricted to BCS who were menopausal for ≥1 year , POWIR increased BMD at the hip and slowed BMD loss at the spine compared with FLEX ( femoral neck — POWIR , 0.004 ± 0.093 g/cm2 vs. FLEX , −0.010 ± 0.089 g/cm2 ; p < 0.01 ; spine — POWIR , −0.003 ± 0.114 g/cm2 vs. FLEX , −0.020 ± 0.110 g/cm2 ; p = 0.03 ) . POWIR prevented increases in % BF ( POWIR , 0.01 % vs. FLEX , 1.3 % ; p < 0.04 ) . Women with attendance to POWIR at ≥64 % had better improvements in % BF than women attending less often ( p < 0.03 ) . Conclusion Impact + resistance training may effectively combat bone loss and worsening body composition from premature menopause in BCS Background : Healthy lifestyle behaviors could have a role in ameliorating some of the adverse effects of and rogen suppression therapy  ( AST ) in men with prostate cancer . The primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a tapered supervised exercise program in combination with dietary advice in men with advanced prostate cancer receiving AST . Methods : Advanced prostate cancer patients receiving AST for a minimum of 6 months were r and omized to a 12-week lifestyle program comprising aerobic and resistance exercise , plus dietary advice ( n = 25 ) , or st and ard care ( n = 25 ) . Exercise behavior , dietary macronutrient intake , quality of life , fatigue , functional fitness , and biomarkers associated with disease progression were assessed at baseline , after the intervention , and at 6 months . Results : The lifestyle group showed improvements in exercise behavior ( P < 0.001 ) , dietary fat intake ( P = 0.001 ) , total energy intake ( P = 0.005 ) , fatigue ( P = 0.002 ) , aerobic exercise tolerance ( P < 0.001 ) , and muscle strength ( P = 0.033 ) compared with st and ard care controls . Although a high rate of attrition ( 44 % ) was observed at 6 months , the improvements in key health outcomes were sustained . No effects on clinical prostate cancer disease markers were observed . Conclusions : This preliminary evidence suggests that pragmatic lifestyle interventions have potential to evoke improvements in exercise and dietary behavior , in addition to other important health outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer receiving AST . Impact : This study shows for the first time that pragmatic lifestyle interventions are feasible and could have a positive impact on health behaviors and other key outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer receiving AST . Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev ; 20(4 ) ; 647–57 . © 2011 AACR PURPOSE To examine the effect of progressive resistance training on muscle function , functional performance , balance , body composition , and muscle thickness in men receiving and rogen deprivation for prostate cancer . METHODS Ten men aged 59 - 82 yr on and rogen deprivation for localized prostate cancer undertook progressive resistance training for 20 wk at 6- to 12-repetition maximum ( RM ) for 12 upper- and lower-body exercises in a university exercise rehabilitation clinic . Outcome measures included muscle strength and muscle endurance for the upper and lower body , functional performance ( repeated chair rise , usual and fast 6-m walk , 6-m backwards walk , stair climb , and 400-m walk time ) , and balance by sensory organization test . Body composition was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and muscle thickness at four anatomical sites by B-mode ultrasound . Blood sample s were assessed for prostate specific antigen ( PSA ) , testosterone , growth hormone ( GH ) , cortisol , and hemoglobin . RESULTS Muscle strength ( chest press , 40.5 % ; seated row , 41.9 % ; leg press , 96.3 % ; P < 0.001 ) and muscle endurance ( chest press , 114.9 % ; leg press , 167.1 % ; P < 0.001 ) increased significantly after training . Significant improvement ( P < 0.05 ) occurred in the 6-m usual walk ( 14.1 % ) , 6-m backwards walk ( 22.3 % ) , chair rise ( 26.8 % ) , stair climbing ( 10.4 % ) , 400-m walk ( 7.4 % ) , and balance ( 7.8 % ) . Muscle thickness increased ( P < 0.05 ) by 15.7 % at the quadriceps site . Whole-body lean mass was preserved with no change in fat mass . There were no significant changes in PSA , testosterone , GH , cortisol , or hemoglobin . CONCLUSIONS Progressive resistance exercise has beneficial effects on muscle strength , functional performance and balance in older men receiving and rogen deprivation for prostate cancer and should be considered to preserve body composition and reduce treatment side effects Sex steroids are known to modulate serum lipoproteins . Studies have suggested that serum testosterone levels are associated with a beneficial lipid profile . And rogen deprivation therapy ( ADT ) is employed in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer ( PCa ) , result ing in profound hypogonadism . As male hypogonadism unfavorably influences lipid profile and men with PCa have high cardiovascular mortality , we evaluated the effects of long-term ADT on fasting lipids . This Cross-sectional study was conducted in a university-based research institution . We evaluated 44 men , 16 undergoing ADT for at least 12 months before the study ( ADT group ) , 14 age-matched eugonadal men with non-metastatic PCa who were status post prostatectomy and /or radiotherapy and not on ADT ( non-ADT group ) and 14 age-matched eugonadal controls ( Control group ) . None of the men had known history of diabetes or dyslipidemia . Mean age was similar in the three groups ( P=0.37 ) . Serum total ( P<0.01 ) and free ( P<0.01 ) testosterone levels were lower in the ADT group compared to the other groups . Men on ADT had higher body mass index ( BMI ) compared to the other groups ( P<0.01 ) . Men in the ADT group had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol compared to the other two groups ( P=0.03 ) . After adjustment for BMI , men on ADT continued to have significantly higher fasting levels of total cholesterol ( P=0.02 ) , LDL cholesterol ( P=0.04 ) and non-HDL cholesterol ( P=0.03 ) compared to the control group . No significant differences were seen in the levels of other lipoproteins between the three groups . These data show that men undergoing long-term ADT have higher total and LDL cholesterol than age-matched controls . Long-term prospect i ve studies are needed to determine the time of onset of changes in these lipoproteins while on ADT and the influence of these changes on cardiovascular mortality This study examined the effects of and rogen suppression therapy ( AST ) on upper and lower body muscle strength and a range of direct measures of physical performance using a cross-sectional design with 118 men ( 48 men undertaking AST for prostate cancer and 70 healthy aged-matched controls ) from a single tertiary center . Primary end points included muscle strength for the upper- and lower-body ; functional performance — repeated chair rise , usual and fast 6-m walk , 6-m backwards walk and 400-m walk time ; and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessment —whole body , regional soft tissue composition and bone mineral density ( BMD ) . Men on AST  had significantly reduced muscle strength for the upper- and lower-body and impaired functional performance compared to controls ( P<0.05 ) . As expected , AST patients had significantly lower whole-body and hip BMD and higher percent of body fat than controls ( P<0.05 ) , and tended to have lower whole-body lean mass ( −2.3 kg , P=0.077 ) . Appendicular skeletal muscle was positively associated with upper-body ( r=0.400–0.606 , P<0.001 ) and lower-body ( r=0.549–0.588 , P<0.001 ) muscle strength , and strength was related to functional performance . Men undertaking  AST were consistently impaired across a broad range of physical and functional musculoskeletal performance assessment s compared with their age-matched normal controls . These findings are relevant for those patients considering AST for sub clinical disease management , but whose physical reserve is marginal . Strategies to counter these adverse effects of AST need
