“…There is evidence that planned exercise is a possible adjunctive strategy linked to significant improvements in outcomes related to debilitating symptoms of cancer, including prostate cancer, where there is improvement in exercise tolerance, physical functioning during conventional adjuvant therapy, thus resulting in improved quality of life [8].…”

Introduction: In Brazil and in the world, the incidence and prevalence of prostate cancer have been increasing. The prostate is a male gland responsible for the production of part of the semen. More than any other type, it is considered a cancer of the third age, since about 75% of the cases in the world occur from the age of 65. In this study it was correlated the practice of physical exercises with the progression and evolution of the disease beyond the impacts in the treatment.Aim: This work aimed to verify in the literature the impacts of regular physical activity on patients with prostate cancer under treatment and after treatment.Methods: Systematic search of scientific articles published between 2010 and 2020 in the PubMed database, using the descriptors: Prostate cancer, Physical activity, Exercise, Quality of life and Lifespan. After complete analysis of the publications, seven articles met all inclusion criteria. Results: Overall improvement was observed in those patients who started the physical activity program, as well as improvement in quality of life, physical function, weight, body fat, well-being-psychological and reduction of cardiovascular risk, weight, fatigue, blood markers and inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion:Physical activity is an additional resource in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer.

“…It also lessens circulating levels of inflammation, insulin and unfavourable sex hormones, thereby preventing PCa progression. 58 As seen on Table 3, the majority of the participants engaged in weekly physical activities of ≤ 5 h across the life phases. Less than 2 h walk per week was associated with T3 or T4 tumour stage (p = 0.019).…”

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks high in terms of morbidity and mortality, especially in Africa. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening remains a practical method of screening for and thereby detecting PCa early, especially among African men who are more negatively affected. Modifiable risk factors for PCa are mostly behavioural and lifestyle. Understanding community-specific determinants is important when developing health promotion interventions.Objective: This study aimed to determine the profile of African men with PCa in the Free State, South Africa.Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using case record information and self-administered questionnaires among 341 African men with PCa attending the oncology and urology clinics of a tertiary hospital.Result: Participants’ median age at diagnosis was 66 years. Only 76 (22.3%) participants had ever heard of PCa prior to being diagnosed with the disease, 36 (47.4%) of whom had ever had screening performed. The majority (n = 298, 87.4%) were symptomatic; 50% sought medical help within six months. At diagnosis, 133 (39.0%) men presented with stage T3 or T4 disease, 75 (22.0%) with metastatic disease and 84 (24.6%) with Gleason score ≥ 8. Factors associated with advanced and high-grade disease included smoking, decreased sunlight exposure and physical activity, relatively increased ingestion of dairy products and red meat. Factors associated with early stage and low-grade disease included relatively increased ingestion of fruits, vegetables and fish.Conclusion: Advanced and high-grade PCa disease is not uncommon among men ≥ 60 years in this study setting. Certain modifiable risk factors associated with advanced disease were established in this study. The majority had lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) prior to PCa diagnosis, but they were of poor health-seeking behaviour. Although there seems not to be a systematic delay in the definitive diagnosis and initiation of treatment for PCa, there is a need to improve on health education and awareness in the study setting.

“…Effect of physical activity on prostate cancer in overweight/obese men the evidence for an association between PA/exercise and Pca incidence shows changing effect (Liu et al, 2000;Littman, Kristal, White, 2006;Lynch, 2010;Liu et al, 2011;grotta et al, 2015;Benke, Leitzmann, Behrens, Schmid, 2018;McTiernan et al, 2018;Berger et al, 2019;Deb, Emmanuel, Emara, 2019) and is classified as limited suggestive (Wcrf/AIcr, 2018, McTiernan et al, 2019.

“…Physical activity has not been consistently associated with Pca incidence, some studies have suggested an association between higher PA and decreased risk of PCa incidence, whereas other studies did not find such association. For example, Deb et al (2019) reviewed studies from 1980 to 2018 on the relationship between PA and Pca incidence risk. the authors found increased risk or no effect of occupational PA in 10 studies, positive trend decreasing cancer risk with increasing level of PA in 4 studies, and a statistically significant decreased risk in the more active men (based on 10 studies).…”

obesity and a lack of sufficient physical activity (PA) are recognized as risk factors for most civilization diseases, including cancer. This study synthesized the current evidence evaluating the relationship between excess body weight and prostate cancer (Pca) in the relation to the disease risk, progression, and mortality, and identifies biological plausibility of the association. We also estimated the importance of PA in intentional body weight loss. Several electronic major databases to identify eligible articles were searched until March 2022. A total 22 observational articles, the literature on the underlying biological mechanisms, and the crucial evidence of a role of PA in body weight maintenance and reduction were reviewed. the available knowledge suggests that association between body mass index and Pca is conflicting. however, the most research consistently shown that overweight/obesity was associated with higher risk of high-grade Pca and dying of Pca. overweight/obesity can promote high-grade Pca through increased levels of secreted adipokines, increased formation of proinflammatory agents, and reduced concentration of adiponectin, among others. Being obese may by also linked with a higher risk of mortality. Exercise can decrease these health consequences related with obesity and may be effective in reduction of Pca-specific mortality, however, there are relative few studies on PA and Pca prevention among obese individuals.
