“Cancer Survivorship: A New Challenge in Delivering Quality Cancer Care”
“Optimal care is care that allows you to maximize the costs of survival (Physical, emotional, social, economic), maximize your health outcomes and enable you to be as successful as possible in achieving your goals in the context of this illness”.
Dr. Julia Rowland (Director of NCI Office of Survivorship), JCO, 2007

Biological Mechanisms (Possible mechanisms involved in the relationship between exercise and cancer prevention)
Cancer Site Possible Mechanisms
Rationale
Colon ↓ gastrointestinal transit time; ↓ ratio of protsaglandis, etc.
PA ↑ gut motility and reduces mucosal exposure to carcinogens
Breast ↓ lifetime exposure to estrogen, etc.
PA delays menarche, ↓ ovarian estrogen production; ↓ %BF (↓ fat produced estrogens)
Prostate ↓ exposure to testosterone, etc.
↑ production of sex hormone-binding globulin
All Cancers ↑anti-tumor immune defenses; decrease IGFs, etc.
May ↑ # and activity of macrophages, lymphokine-activated killer cells (regulating cytokines)

Purpose of the Exercise Oncology ProjectsPurpose of the Exercise Oncology Projects
Examine the effects of exercise on treatment-related side-effects;
Design of evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines for cancer survivors.
Treatment tolerability and enhanced chances for treatment success may be improved if individuals
are able to develop their psychological and physical strength, both of which have been shown
to combat the debilitating side effects of cancer and cancer treatment.

• Cancer dx affects all aspects of physical functioning
• Unique manifestations
-Tumor
-Treatment
-Side-effects
• ACSM / ACS guidelines
• Optimal guidelines yet to be established
Clinical ConcernsClinical Concerns
• Unwillingness of cancer patients
• Immunosuppressive effects
• Pathological bone fractures
• Cardiotoxicity (RT & CT)

Comprehensive health screening procedure should include:
1.1. Oncology physician consent for participation in physical activityOncology physician consent for participation in physical activity
- Family physician consent
2. Intake Meeting2. Intake Meeting
- Informed consent form
- PAR-Q
- Medical History Questionnaire ???
- Lifestyle Evaluation (Physical Activity Levels)
- Resting Vitals (BP, RHR, SPO2, ECG)

Exercise Testing Recommendations
Chapter 5. Cardiorespiratory Fitness Testing in Clients Diagnosed With CancerJones, L & Battaglini, C. 2012
• Initially work on frequency and duration – then intensity
• Progression slower for patients suffering severe side-effects

ComplicationComplication PrecautionPrecaution
