Summary
Research on physical activity and breast cancer is growing, shifting towards clinical applications and survivorship. Future work should integrate exercise into care and expand studies to diverse populations.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Exercise Science
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Scientific research on physical activity and breast cancer has expanded significantly over 25 years.
- The focus has evolved from basic physiology to clinical, psychosocial, and implementation aspects.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze research trends, key contributors, and thematic evolution in the physical activity and breast cancer literature from 2000 to 2025.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 13,329 articles and reviews from Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science (2000-2025).
- Utilized the Bibliometrix package in R for analyzing publication/citation volume, collaborations, core journals, and keyword co-occurrence.
Main Results:
- A consistent rise in publications and citations, with a geographical concentration in high-income, Anglophone countries.
- Thematic analysis revealed a shift towards clinical practice guidelines, survivorship, quality of life, prehabilitation, and digital health interventions.
- Identified a core group of influential authors and specialized journals.
Conclusions:
- The field demonstrates high scientific output with a strong clinical focus.
- Recommends integrating exercise prescription into cancer care, standardizing dose-response guidelines, and promoting multicenter studies in under-represented regions.

Cancer Prevention
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Survival Analysis
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
