Exercise & Cancer | Triage Thoughts Ep. 242

Cancer is not a single disease, but many different diseases that share some common features, most notably uncontrolled cell growth; this is characterised by the loss of normal cellular mechanisms responsible for the control of proliferation, cell differentiation, programmed cell death (apoptosis), cellular organisation, and adhesion. Causative factors can include genetics (e.g. BRCA, FPC), lifestyle (e.g. obesity, alcohol, drugs), environmental (e.g. toxic exposures, air quality), physical (e.g. radiation, heat, trauma/inflammation), immune (e.g. HIV immunosuppression), endocrine (e.g. estrogen and endometrial cancer), and viruses (e.g. HPV). Exercise reduces the risk of a variety of cancers, and may also improve survival rates of certain cancers. In this episode, we discuss the details of how exercise prevents cancer, and also how it can improve quality of life and prognosis for those with existing cancer.
