“…Dietary and alcohol intakes of cancer survivors have received increasing attention in the last decade 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. Overall, these studies tended to suggest an improvement in dietary behavior after cancer diagnosis, as well as a strong motivation of cancer survivors to make lifestyle changes 4.…”

Postdiagnosis diet and alcohol consumption may be associated with cancer prognosis, recurrence and mortality. Our aim was to investigate food, nutrient and alcohol intake variations between before and after cancer diagnosis and their determinants in a prospective cohort. Subjects (n = 696) were incident cancer cases diagnosed in the NutriNet‐Santé cohort between 2009 and 2016. Food, nutrient and alcohol intakes were prospectively collected using repeated nonconsecutive 24‐hr dietary records since subjects' inclusion (i.e. an average of 2 y before diagnosis). Mean number of dietary records per subject was 5.9 before and 8.1 after diagnosis. All dietary data before and after diagnosis were compared by mixed models. Factors associated with the main dietary changes observed were also investigated using multivariable logistic regressions. We observed a decrease in intakes of vegetables (mean decrease in intake in patients who decreased their intake=‐102.4 ± 79.8 g/d), dairy products (–93.9 ± 82.8 g/d), meat/offal (–35.5 ± 27.8/d), soy products (–85.8 ± 104.1 g/d), sweetened soft drinks (–77.9 ± 95.4 g/d), and alcoholic drinks (–92.9 ± 119.9 g/d), and an increase in broths (42.1 ± 34.9 g/d) and fats/sauces (18.0 ± 13.4 g/d). We observed a decrease in energy intake (–377.2 ± 243.5 kcal/d) and in intakes of alcohol (–7.6 ± 9.4 g/d) proteins (–17.4 ± 12.5 g/d), and several vitamins (p < 0.05) and micronutrients (p < 0.05). Conversely, lipid (19.4 ± 14.6 g/d), SFA (9.3 ± 7.0 g/d), MUFA (8.3 ± 6.3 g/d) and vitamin E (3.9 ± 3.3 mg/d) intakes increased after diagnosis. This large prospective study suggests that cancer diagnosis is a key period for nutritional changes. It highlights some healthy behaviors such as a decrease in alcohol and sweetened drink consumption, but also less favorable trends, such as a decrease in vegetable consumption and in many vitamin and mineral intakes. These results provide insights to identify and target recommendations to put forward for better nutritional care of cancer survivors.

“…There is limited empirical evidence regarding the long term health and wellbeing of cancer survivors, and even less information regarding health care needs and health service utilisation. The few international studies available [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] suggest that cancer survivors experience poorer health and wellbeing and have a higher level of health service utilization compared to the general population. These studies however are limited methodologically and there are no studies that have been undertaken in Northern Ireland or in the Republic of Ireland.…”

“…47 Other factors associated with bone loss and fracture It has been reported that men with prostate cancer are more likely to be sedentary or less physically active than those without cancer. 56 Bone-loading activities are integral to stimulate positive changes in bone metabolism and conversely if the skeletal system is not subjected to weight-bearing activity bone loss occurs. 57 In addition, physical inactivity also leads to loss of muscle tissue (known as sarcopenia).…”

AST-induced bone loss in men with prostate cancer: exercise as a potential countermeasure

Androgen suppression treatment (AST) for men with prostate cancer is associated with a number of treatment-related side effects including an accelerated rate of bone loss. This loss of bone is greatest within the first year of AST and increases the risk for fracture. Pharmaceutical treatment in the form of bisphosphonates is currently used to counter the effects of hormone suppression on bone but is costly and associated with potential adverse effects. Recently, exercise has been shown to be an important adjuvant therapy to manage a range of treatment-related toxicities and enhance aspects of quality of life for men receiving AST. We propose that physical exercise may also have an important role in not only attenuating the bone loss associated with AST but in improving bone health and reducing fracture risk. In this review, the rationale underlying exercise as a countermeasure to AST-induced bone loss is provided.
