Exercise Oncology...what say you?

Well, as mentioned earlier, there was a conclusion in the ERASE randomized clinical trial (published August 2021), cited below:
“The ERASE trial demonstrated that HIIT increased cardiorespiratory fitness levels and decreased PSA levels, PSA velocity, and prostate cancer cell growth in men with localized prostate cancer who were under active surveillance.“

One can choose not to believe it or have another reason to be skeptical regarding its clear conclusion, but its implementation is working in my case and that's good enough for me.
I was diagnosed with low risk Gleason 3+4 in October 2023.
I'm not saying it will work for everyone (or even the majority of low risk PCa men)...everyone chooses the treatment for which they are most comfortable implementing...and I'm completely comfortable (as is my urologist) with my exercise oncology protocol. I plan to stick with it.

I didn’t see that study… I am sticking with the exercise as well for a number of reasons… My PSA numbers have been creeping up slowly but my blood cancer oncologist concurs not to treat the Pca unless there is a major spike up.. In my case surgery, ADT and and/or radiation could complicate things with my blood cancer which could lead to a deadly leukemia. I’ll take a hard pass on that…
