Poor Adherence to International Cancer Prevention Recommendations Among Patients With Prostate Cancer: First Results From the MARTINI-Lifestyle Cohort

Recommendations on Weight Loss and Healthy Lifestyle in Prostate Cancer Clinical Guidelines: A Systematic Review

“…In this regard, several clinical trials are being developed to analyze the impact of weight loss interventions in patients with clinically localized PC [71]. A recent systematic review on the MARTINI-Lifestyle cohort also pointed out that the adherence to lifestyle recommendations is very poor in PC patients [72]. However, this adherence has been proven to reduce mortality in several types of cancer [73].…”

Patient experiences of self-care management after radical prostatectomy

“…They also found it hard to sustain motivation for daily physical activity, primarily if they were not used to exercising. Introducing a healthy lifestyle, exercise, or a healthy diet adds a new challenge to a patient's life (Thederan et al, 2019), which increases the need for support Deci, 2017, Kwasnicka et al, 2016).…”

Circulating Vitamin D and Selenium Levels and Outcome in Prostate Cancer Patients: Lessons from the MARTINI-Lifestyle Cohort

“…Despite limited evidence with regard to PCa-specific outcomes and no official recommendation from scientific authorities, the use of supplements is a widespread practice among PCa patients [5]. In our recent study, 34.8% of our PCa patients consumed one or more dietary supplements on a regular basis at the time of diagnosis [10]. In addition, Vit D intake is widely recommended by physicians for general medical health.…”

“…The MARTINI-Lifestyle cohort, established in 2015, is an ongoing prospective study of men with PCa treated with RP [10]. The principal inclusion criterion is surgical treatment of PCa (ICD-10-CM code 61)…”

“…The MARTINI-Lifestyle trial is an ongoing observational study of patients with PCa undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) at the Martini-Klinik and aims to identify dietary and lifestyle factors that are related to tumor characteristics, disease recurrence, and survival outcomes [10]. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether plasma Vit D and selenium levels prior to RP are associated with worse pathologic tumor characteristics and increased risk of disease recurrence.…”
