“…Indeed, increasing the levels of serotonin boosts the mood and the overall sense of well-being [ 44 ]. Exercise can also help improve patients’ appetite [ 46 ] and sleep quality [ 47 ], both of which are negatively affected by depression.…”

The benefits of exercise for health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and depression in patients with gastrointestinal disease remain unclear, and studies on gastric cancer are scant. This study examines the association between the maintenance of regular aerobic exercise at a recommended level and depression and HRQOL in patients with gastric cancer during or after treatment. In this cross-sectional study, a face-to-face survey was used to collect data from 126 patients with primary gastric cancer during or after treatment in a tertiary acute-care hospital in Korea. Regular exercise was defined as regularly maintained aerobic exercise of at least moderate intensity consuming ≥4 metabolic equivalents for ≥150 min/wk for at least 6 months. Depression was measured using the 9-item version of the Patient Health Questionnaire, and HRQOL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30. Patients who maintained aerobic exercise at a recommended level were less likely to have depression and more likely to have improved global QOL, as well as physical, role, and emotional functioning. Patients with depression were less likely to report improved global QOL and functioning. Thus, exercise can have a synergistic effect on improvement in HRQOL via indirect positive effects on depression and direct effects on HRQOL in patients with gastric cancer. Oncology nurses should encourage patients with gastric cancer who suffer from a depressive mood to set up and implement specific plans for practicing regular exercise, which can lead to an improvement in both depression and HRQOL.

“…Physical exercise reduces the risk of depressive symptoms and improves the quality of life of cancer patients. 39 Physical exercise reduces the risk of depressive symptoms in cancer patients because it improves immune function and relieves patients' anxiety and tension; this further improves sleep and appetite, promotes digestion and increases the body's tolerance to pain. 40,41 Using a mouse model, Crupi et al showed that brain inflammation, impairment and hippocampal plasticity are associated with anxiety and depression.…”

Objective To assess the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in malignant tumour patients. Methods Participants were 2079 inpatients with malignant tumour (1291: depressive symptoms; 788 no depressive symptoms). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to evaluate sociodemographic and clinical factors influencing depressive symptoms. Results Risk factors were family income ≤5000 yuan (odds ratio [OR]: 4.966, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.938–8.395) and 5001–10,000 yuan (OR: 3.111, 95% CI: 1.840–5.260); Karnofsky Performance Status of 70 (OR: 2.783, 95% CI: 1.281–6.042) and 80 (OR: 1.834, 95% CI: 1.139–2.953); disease course ≤1 year; palliative treatment (OR: 2.288, 95% CI: 1.292–4.055); progressive disease (OR: 1.876, 95% CI: 1.284–2.739); pain (OR: 1.973, 95% CI: 1.555–2.505); cancer type: lung (OR: 3.199, 95% CI: 1.938–5.279), oesophagus (OR: 3.288, 95% CI: 1.673–6.464), cervix (OR: 1.542, 95% CI: 1.056–2.253) and partial knowledge of disease condition (OR: 2.366, 95% CI: 1.653–3.385). Return to work (OR: 0.503, 95% CI: 0.348–0.727) and physical exercise (OR: 0.437, 95% CI: 0.347–0.551) were protective against depressive symptoms. Conclusions Several factors affected depressive symptoms in malignant tumour patients, including income, disease type and course, palliative treatment, return to work and physical exercise.

“…Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the nine studies included. Among these, four were RCTs [26][27][28][29], two were non-RCTs [30,31], one was a cohort study [32], and two were case series studies [33,34]. Four studies used a 3-arm design, including one control group [healthy control group [32] or usual care [26,28,29].…”

Cancer is associated with increased muscle weakness, reduced physical functioning, increased fatigue, but also sleep disturbances, including insomnia, that affect quality of life (QoL). Physical activity demonstrated benefits on functional capacity, resilience and cancer-related fatigue, but there is a paucity of available data regarding its effects on insomnia in patients with cancer. This systematic review aims to examine the efficacy of exercise levels with insomnia in cancer patients. A systematic search was performed for articles published in PubMed and Cochrane Library databases from December 2013 to February 2023. Included studies explored insomnia during or after cancer treatment, with various exercise interventions. The search identified nine studies included in this review. Due to substantial heterogeneity in the interventions across studies, meta-analysis was not performed. Three studies reported positive results for insomnia reduction by self-reported outcomes under a supervised aerobic exercise program alone or combined with strength training. The present systematic review establishes the role of exercise interventions for reducing cancer-related insomnia. Further studies are indeed warranted to improve the level of evidence for exercise interventions for implementation in the care of cancer-related insomnia.
