Article Synopsis
- Being overweight (adiposity) can increase the risk of dying from prostate cancer and other causes in men who have this disease.
- A study followed 1968 men for about 9.5 years and found that gaining weight around the time of being diagnosed with prostate cancer made it more likely for them to not survive as long.
- The results suggest that men should try to keep a healthy weight to potentially live longer, especially after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, but more research is needed to fully understand the connection.
The adiposity influence on colorectal cancer prognosis remains poorly characterised. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on post-diagnosis adiposity measures (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, weight) or their changes and colorectal cancer outcomes. PubMed and Embase were searched through 28 February 2022.

Better characterisation of these relationships is needed for the development of post-diagnosis physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidance for colorectal cancer survivors. We searched PubMed and Embase through 28 February 2022 for studies assessing post-diagnosis physical activity, and/or sedentary behaviour in relation to all-cause and cause-specific mortality and recurrence after colorectal cancer diagnosis.

We searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and longitudinal observational studies on post-diagnosis dietary factors, supplement use and colorectal cancer survival outcomes in PubMed and Embase from inception until 28th February 2022. Random-effects dose-response meta-analyses were conducted when at least three studies had sufficient information.
