“…Patients who have prostate cancer, even in advanced stages, reportedly gain several benefits from exercise, including improved overall quality of life and physical performance and reduced psychological distress. 60 The impact and adherence to lifestyle interventions should be assessed every 3-6 months. For patients who remain overweight or obese and are unable to achieve optimal weight management through nutritional counseling and the interventions described above, pharmacologic weight reduction should be considered with the novel glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist agents, which have a proven CV safety profile.…”

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy among men worldwide, and androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT) is a mainstay of treatment. There are observational data demonstrating an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients who receive ADT, particularly those who have an elevated baseline cardiovascular risk. Because, for most patients with prostate cancer, death is predominantly from noncancer‐related causes, cardiovascular disease and its risk factors should be optimized during cancer treatment. This review provides an overview of the landscape of ADT treatment and serves as a guide for appropriate cardiovascular screening and risk‐mitigation strategies. The authors emphasize the importance of shared communication between the multidisciplinary cancer team and primary care to improve baseline cardiovascular screening and treatment of modifiable risk factors within this higher risk population.
