More research has been done on the correlation between exercise and cancer, which has revealed several ways that physical activity decreases the risk of developing the disease. The developing function of lncRNAs as an important molecular link between exercise and cancer suppression is the main topic of this review. According to recent research, regular physical exercise also alters the expression levels of several lncRNAs, which are generally elevated in cancer. A complex network of interactions that may provide protective effects against carcinogenesis is suggested by the contribution of these lncRNAs in various cellular processes, such as epigenetic alterations, proliferation, and apoptosis regulation. We offer a comprehensive summary of the existing information regarding specific lncRNAs that are influenced by physical activity and could potentially impact cancer-related processes. We also go over the difficulties in interpreting these alterations, taking into account the fact that several lncRNAs have a dual function in promoting and preventing cancer in various physiological settings. To understand the complex impacts of exercise-induced lncRNA regulation in cancer biology, more study is required. The critique strongly highlights the possibility of lncRNAs serving as both indicators and treatment prospects for cancer-preventive strategies.

Article Synopsis
  • Advances in breast cancer treatment have not significantly improved outcomes for metastatic cases, which still lead to high mortality rates.
  • Physical activity has been linked to reduced breast cancer risk and improved treatment outcomes, prompting a study on its effects on metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
  • Results show that increasing physical activity after surgical interventions can significantly enhance metastasis-free survival in mice, suggesting exercise may play a crucial role in delaying cancer progression.

A 55-year-old female patient affected by an EGFR mutant NSCLC with multiple lytic bone metastases and two prior pathological fractures, undergoing treatment with osimertinib and denosumab, participated in a 9-month physical exercise program. The exercise program was performed twice a week and consisted of aerobic and strength training. Aerobic training was composed of moderate-intensity continuous training for the first 3 months and then high-intensity interval training.

Impact of adapted physical activity and diet counselling on health-related quality of life in women undergoing adjuvant breast cancer therapy.

In the monocentric APAD1 trial, 143 women with non-metastatic breast cancer were randomised to undergo either an adapted physical activity and diet counselling (APAD) program or usual care. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was prospectively evaluated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire at baseline, during treatment (adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and during follow-up. Our objective was two-fold: to analyse the impact of APAD on HRQoL using three approaches; to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and derive methodological recommendations.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity, and progression of swallowing impairments in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients before and after treatment, using videofluoroscopy with the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP) protocol. We retrospect survey 90 HNC patients was divided into rehabilitation (receiving swallowing rehabilitation) and non-rehabilitation groups. All participants underwent a videofluoroscopic swallowing study with MBSImP, the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), and the Swallowing Performance Status (SPS) scale, along with assessments using the EAT-10 and Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) at baseline, and at 1 and 3 months post-treatment.

Obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are interrelated metabolic disorders primarily driven by overnutrition and physical inactivity, which oftentimes entails a transition from obesity to T2DM. Compromised musculoskeletal health consistently emerges as a common hallmark in the progression of these metabolic disorders. Skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction can further impair whole-body metabolism and reduce physical exercise capacity, thus instigating a vicious cycle that further deteriorates the underlying conditions.
