AnCan and MedaFit have long been aggressive proponents of the importance of exercise to manage cancer, and in particular prostate cancer.
This short interview between one of AnCan’s favorite GU med oncs, Alicia Morgans at Northwestern and Lorelei Mucci ScD at Harvard examines a recent epidemiological study using the 50,000 male healthcare professionals cohort over 30 years. It finds that amongst the 6,000 men who contracted prostate cancer, those with advanced PCa who engaged in 25 minutes of VIGOROUS (heavy aerobic) exercise daily had a 30% lower risk of developing lethal prostate cancer. Moderate exercise did not show the same results.
MedaFit has been pushing this hypothesis going back to 2007 and is proud to be one of the catalysts bringing about greater academic study of exercise and prostate cancer.
