Cardiovascular disease is a competing cause of death in patients with cancer early-stage disease. This elevated cardiovascular risk thought to derive from both the direct effects therapies and accumulation factors such as hypertension, weight gain, cigarette smoking, loss cardiorespiratory fitness. Effective viable strategies are needed mitigate this population; multimodal model cardiac rehabilitation may be potential solution. statement American Heart Association provides an overview...
Sedentary behavior is associated with several health outcomes, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Less known about the association between objectively measured sedentary cancer mortality, as well physical activity.To examine accelerometer-measured (total volume accrual in prolonged, uninterrupted bouts) mortality.A prospective cohort study conducted contiguous US included 8002 black white adults aged 45 years or older enrolled Reasons for Geographic Racial...
Background: A robust literature demonstrates that coronary artery calcification (CAC) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are independent predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Much less is known about the joint associations CRF CAC with CVD risk. In setting high CAC, versus low has been associated decreased The goal this study was to assess effect continuous levels on risk in increasing burden. Methods: We studied 8425 men without clinical who underwent preventive medicine...

Abstract Purpose Preclinical evidence suggests that natural killer cell (NK-cell) function and myokines facilitate the protective effects of exercise for breast cancer prevention. Since higher-intensity acutely promotes greater mobilization larger changes in NK-cell cytotoxicity than lower-intensity, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) might offer increased immune protection compared to moderate-intensity continuous-training (MICT). This study a 12-week HIIT program MICT usual care on...
Objective This study examined whether metabolic health status is associated with risk of cancer mortality and this varies by body mass index (BMI) category. Methods A prospective 22,514 participants from the Reasons for Geographic Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort was performed. Metabolically unhealthy defined as having three or more following: (1) elevated fasting glucose, (2) high triglycerides, (3) dyslipidemia, (4) hypertension, (5) waist circumference. Participants were...
Guidelines recommend venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment in outpatients with cancer and pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis selected patients at high for VTE. Although validated stratification tools are available, < 10% of oncologists use a tool, rates VTE prophylaxis high-risk low practice. We hypothesized that implementation systems-based program uses the electronic health record (EHR) offers personalized recommendations would increase initiating outpatient chemotherapy.Venous...
Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are at risk for competing morbidity and mortality due to cardiometabolic disease given their advanced age diagnosis, high prevalence of pre-existing factors, receipt systemic therapy that targets the androgen receptor (AR). Expert panels have stressed importance assessment in clinic proposed evaluating key risks using consensus paradigms. Yet, there is a gap real-world evidence implementation comprehensive care men cancer.This retrospective, descriptive...
PurposeCardiotoxicities induced by cancer therapy can negatively affect quality of life and survival. We investigated whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels could serve as biomarker for early detection adverse events (CAEs) after chemoradiation (CRT) non-small cell lung (NSCLC).Methods MaterialsThis study included 225 patients who received concurrent platinum taxane-doublet chemotherapy with thoracic radiation to a total dose 60 74 Gy NSCLC. All were evaluated CAEs; 190...
Abstract Purpose: Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary condition with high lifetime risk of colorectal and endometrial cancers. Exercise non-pharmacologic intervention to reduce cancer risk, though its impact on patients LS has not been prospectively studied. Here, we evaluated the 12-month aerobic exercise cycling in biology immune system carriers.

Postmenopausal women are at risk of fractures owing to osteoporosis, which is worsened by low oestrogen. Bisphosphonates like ibandronate, zoledronic acid, alendronate, and risedronate limit bone resorption increase density, reducing fracture risk. Although atypical femur (AFFs) uncommon, they associated with dangerous complications long-term bisphosphonate therapy. Early identification before occur crucial minimizing complications. The review examines bisphosphonate-related medical issues...
Immunosenescence is described as age-associated changes within the immune system that are responsible for decreased immunity and increased cancer risk. Physically active individuals have fewer 'senescent' more naïve T-cells compared to their sedentary counterparts, but it not known if exercise training can rejuvenate 'older looking' T-cell profiles. We determined effects of 12-weeks supervised on frequency subtypes in peripheral blood relationships with circulating levels muscle-derived...
