The Impacts of Exercise-Intervention on the Prevention and Treatment of Some Types of Cancer

Abstract

PURPOSE: Cancer is a disease affecting millions of people and one of the primary causes of death worldwide like cardiovascular diseases. Nonpharmacological and nonoperative methods such as proper exercise-intervention, nutrition, maintaining the activity of daily living (ADL), psychological methods can also improve the physical function, cancer progression, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However it is extremely important, little light shed on the impacts of exercise-intervention on cancer prevention and treatments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the impacts of nonpharmaceutical approaches such as diverse exercise-intervention on cancer prevention and treatments with psychological and physiological health for cancer patients. Moreover, this paper wants to combine knowledge regarding the many experimental papers and systemic reviews of cancer researches and exercise intervention liter-ature.METHODS:A meta-analysis and systemic reviews of the impacts of an exercise intervention on cancer prevention and treatments were conducted to the PRISMA guidelines. 20 research articles were selected for final inclusion and extraction. And electronic analysis such as PubMed, Google scholar was carried for this study up to May 2020. The search keyword was ‘exercise-intervention and cancer’.RESULTS: We can suggest that physical exercise-intervention might be a suitable combination partner to exercise-related immune therapy in the prevention, delay, and treatment of cancer patients. Moreover, physical exercise-intervention directly enhances the QOL, ADL, healthy life, and even resilience of cancer patients.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, these exercise interventions can be effective at reducing cancer symptoms, and enhancing cancer treatments for diverse and many cancer patients. Reversing low muscle mass can enhance cancer therapy outcomes and mortality. Nutrition strategies also might be helpful. A Follow-up study about specific high-quality tailoring exercise-intervention program on counteracting cancer symptoms, cancer prevention and treatment, physiological and psychological health and HRQOL is urgently needed in this area.
