Mechanism Underlying the Benefits of Exercise in Cancer

Francesco Bettariga explains how exercise lowers cancer mortality risk, through its effects on inflammation, the immune system and the myokines that can suppress tumour growth. Read more ↓

01
Physical Fitness, Physical Activity and Mortality in Cancer

How physical activity, muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness relate to cancer incidence and to all-cause and cancer-specific mortality after diagnosis, and which simple tests can be used to predict mortality risk.

09:50
02
Exercise During Cancer Treatment, Body Composition and Inflammation

How exercise supports cancer treatment by improving chemotherapy completion, tumor blood flow and oxygenation, and how changes in muscle and fat mass shift the hormones and inflammatory markers linked to tumor growth.

15:20
03
Exercise, the Immune System and Cancer-Suppressive Myokines

How single bouts and regular training affect natural killer cells and T cells, what myokines are, and what laboratory studies show about exercise-conditioned serum suppressing cancer cell growth in breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer.

15:01

Exploring the underlying mechanisms by which exercise provides benefits to patients with cancer, highlighting its role in reducing cancer growth and proliferation, ultimately leading to a reduced risk of mortality.

Leaning points:
1. Understand the association between exercise and mortality in cancer
2. Investigate the mechanism of exercise during and after cancer treatment
3. Examine the physiological changes induced by exercise, focusing on inflammation and the
immune system
4. Explore exercise-induced myokines and their effects on cancer suppression
