“Exercise oncology is an emerging branch of medicine that studies the application of exercise medicine in the treatment of cancer. Although there is a strong base of epidemiological research that supports a relationship between increased physical activity and decreased cancer severity and death, the molecular mechanisms that underlie this relationship require further research.”

“The virus also activates the immune system to kill cancer cells. This seems very promising.”

“Findings in a recent report indicate that vitamin D may reduce the number of cancer deaths, saving thousands of dollars. The authors of the study drew on data regarding age- and sex-specific cancer deaths in the German Center for Cancer Registry.”

“However, the human findings suggest only a partial effect on this pathway. Although proteins involved in fatty acid production and cancer cell multiplication were lower, free fatty acid levels remained unchanged.”

“Chronic inflammation (originating from the gut and other cells in the body), higher IGF-1, glucose, and insulin levels have all been identified to play a role in the obesity-cancer link. If you are one of the 69% of U.S. adults that are overweight/obese...”

“Oncolytic viruses target and kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells by promoting an immune response against a tumor. However, they only work in a minority of patients. Findings from a new study identify potential mechanisms underlying the varied response to oncolytic virus therapies.”

“The fasting-mimicking diet – a short-term, low-protein, low-carbohydrate diet – improves metabolism and increases immune cell populations that target cancer, according to a 2021 study.”

“The group was 24 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer within the first two years of the study than men who reported no heart disease, and by four years into the study, this group's prostate cancer risk was 74 percent higher.”

“The study found that after a short session of high intensity interval training (HIIT), growth of colon cancer cells was reduced, and this also increased indicators of inflammation. [...] >"We have shown that exercise may play a role in inhibiting the growth of colon cancer cells.”

“> Based on that hunch, the researchers treated mice with cancer and associated cachexia with a recombinant and soluble version of the ActRIIB receptor (sActRIIB), a kind of molecular "decoy" that potently inhibited both activin and myostatin activity.”
