Abstract
Men with localized prostate cancer (PC) frequently receive months of hormone ablation (HA+) therapy plus radiation therapy (RT). These patients experience significant bone loss; those receiving HA+ therapy experience even greater bone loss of 4–13% yearly which can affect functional status and symptoms. Despite strong evidence demonstrating exercise benefits during treatment for breast cancer, there has been little investigation of exercise to reduce losses in bone mineral density (BMD) and functional status among PC patients.
