“This is helping us to understand why patients with cancer who exercise exhibit slower disease progression and survive for longer.”
The analysis showed higher levels of myokines just after their session. After a half-hour of rest, their myokines levels — and cancer suppressing effects — returned to baseline.
Newton described the study as a breakthrough, saying it could change the way doctors advise their patients with cancer. “The findings from our work are particularly exciting because we report for the first time ever that men with advanced prostate cancer are able to produce an acute elevation in anti-cancer molecules called myokines in response to a single bout of vigorous exercise,” Newton told hisTo be sure, exercise isn’t a cure for cancer, Newton insisted — noting that all the participants’ cancer was incurable — but it could prolong their life expectancy.
Scientists have yet to determine the amount of exercise needed, but stated that it’s likely to be around 20 minutes per day — and “must include resistance training to grow the muscles, increase the size and capacity of the internal pharmacy, and stimulate the myokine production,” Newton added.
