“…Of the sixteen studies involving patients in active treatment [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] , six demonstrated that, compared with the control group, the intervention group experienced significant improvements in qol 30,31,33,[38][39][40]43 . In the thirteen post-treatment intervention studies 10,12,14,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] , two reported similar significant differences between groups 46,49 .…”

Exercise for People with Cancer: A Clinical Practice Guideline

et al. 2017

Background Development of this guideline was undertaken by the Exercise for People with Cancer Guideline Development Group, a group organized by Cancer Care Ontario’s Program in Evidence-Based Care (pebc). The purpose of the guideline was to provide guidance for clinicians with respect to exercise for patients living with cancer, focusing on the benefits of specific types of exercise, recommendations about screening requirements for new referrals, and safety concerns.Methods Consistent with the pebc’s standardized approach, a systematic search was conducted for existing guidelines, and systematic literature searches were performed in medline and embase for both systematic reviews and primary literature. Content and methodology experts performed an internal review, which was followed by an external review by targeted experts and intended users.Results The search identified three guidelines, eighteen systematic reviews, and twenty-nine randomized controlled trials with relevance to the topic. The present guideline provides recommendations for the duration, frequency, and intensity of exercise appropriate for people living with cancer. It also provides recommendations for pre-exercise assessment, safety concerns, and delivery models.Conclusions There is sufficient evidence to show that exercise provides benefits in quality of life and muscular and aerobic fitness for people with cancer both during and after treatment, and that it does not cause harm. The present guideline is intended to support the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology’s Canadian physical activity guidelines. The recommendations are intended for clinicians and institutions treating cancer patients in Ontario, and for policymakers and program planners involved in the delivery of exercise programs for cancer patients.

“…Of the sixteen rcts involving patients in active treatment [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] , seven reported significant differences between the intervention and control groups (Table vi) 23,24,26,[31][32][33]36 . In the thirteen posttreatment intervention studies [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] , two reported significant qol improvement in the exercise groups 41,42 . In particular, patients with lymphedema experienced qol benefits, and aerobic and resistance exercises were both safe for women who had undergone breast and axillary surgery 6,7,38,39,44 .…”

“…One systematic review 20 found that cardiopulmonary exercise testing was a safe, noninvasive method to measure cardiopulmonary fitness in people living with cancer, both during and after treatment. Seventeen rcts [22][23][24]27,29,[30][31][32][33]37,39,42,45,47,[51][52][53] found that no adverse events or side effects were attributable to the exercise program.

Exercise for people with cancer: a systematic review

Background This systematic review was completed by the Exercise for People with Cancer Guideline Development Group, a group organized by Cancer Care Ontario’s Program in Evidence-Based Care (pebc). It provides background and guidance for clinicians with respect to exercise for people living with cancer in active and post treatment. It focuses on the benefits of specific types of exercise, pre-screening requirements for new referrals, safety concerns, and delivery models.Methods Using the pebc’s standardized approach, medline and embase were systematically searched for existing guidelines, systematic reviews, and primary literature.Results The search identified two guidelines, eighteen systematic reviews, and twenty-nine randomized controlled trials with relevance to the topic. The present review provides conclusions about the duration, frequency, and intensity of exercise appropriate for people living with cancer.Conclusions The evidence shows that exercise is safe and provides benefit in quality of life and in muscular and aerobic fitness for people with cancer both during and after treatment. The evidence is sufficient to support the promotion of exercise for adults with cancer, and some evidence supports the promotion of exercise in group or supervised settings and for a long period of time to improve quality of life and muscular and aerobic fitness. Exercise at moderate intensities could also be sustainable for longer periods and could encourage exercise to be continued over an individual’s lifetime. It is important that a pre-screening assessment be conducted to evaluate the effects of disease, treatments, and comorbidities.
