[Patients with prostate cancer treated by androgen deprivation therapy: Impact of adapted physical activity]
1Laboratoire « Mouvement, Sport, Santé » (EA 7470), université Rennes, Campus de Ker-Lann, 35170 Bruz, France.
Objectives:
The purpose of this article is to present adapted physical activity (APA) and its potential impact on the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) adverse effects, the limits and measures to promote its use among prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with ADT.
Material And Methods:
A non-systematic review of the literature was performed with pubmed referenced articles, using the keywords "prostate cancer", "androgen deprivation" and "physical activity", and the main publications and recommendations of national and international health agencies, published between January 2010 and June 2019.
Results:
APA represents an effective action to reduce adverse effects of ADT. Its integration into health care of PCa patients treated with ADT remains limited.
Conclusion:
To promote a APA development in this population, a multidisciplinary collaboration between healthcare and APA professionals is essential. This collaboration should enable implementation of standard and innovative APA programs and therapeutic education tools for patients, as well as development of information and promotion for healthcare professionals.
