Exercise Oncology...what say you?

My comment to yours was really “tongue-in-cheek”…I know we basically agree 👍

I also approach new information with a healthy level of skepticism…. probably because I spent the majority of my 45 year chemical engineering career doing research and development.

I’ve seen, first hand, how “science” can be manipulated for a whole host of reasons…scientists have biases (usually a product of their presuppositions), don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise 🤔

I am, by no means, advocating that “exercise oncology” is the absolute “end all and be all” regarding PCa treatment.

That said, in my review of scores of medical research studies and probably hundreds of video presentations, regarding the many aspects of vigorous exercise, I am convinced there is much more solid science to the implementation of this “exercise treatment”, as it relates to slowing the progression of prostate cancer (with little downside), as compared to anything one cares to put in their mouth and swallow…just my studied opinion.

Obviously RCT’s are preferred reading; but when it comes to observational studies, the evidence is legion…literally hundreds of studies show evidence of benefit.

Rather than boring folks with a detailed list, I’ll refer to a recent February 2024 review that narrowed the list to the best studies….for those so inclined to read such information.

All the best!

Thanks for posting this study… So there is no definitive conclusion, but I’ll certainly continue to exercise as long as I can anyway..
