Key Points
-
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) adversely affects lean body mass, fat mass and bone mineral density, resulting in an increased risk of diabetes mellitus, bone fracture and possibly cardiovascular disease
-
Exercise can mitigate ADT-induced changes in body composition and physical functioning, but trials that investigate its effect on the risks of diabetes mellitus, bone fracture and cardiovascular disease are still warranted
-
Exercise can mitigate fatigue, improve disease-specific quality of life (although probably more difficult to achieve) and might also have a positive effect on sexual functioning in men with prostate cancer receiving ADT
-
The safety and effects of physical activity in men with prostate cancer and bone metastases require further investigation
Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) induces severe hypogonadism and is associated with several adverse effects that negatively affect health and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer. ADT changes body composition characterized by an increase in fat mass and a reduction in muscle mass and strength. Insulin sensitivity is also diminished and population-based studies indicate an increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in men receiving ADT. Particularly the first 6 months of treatment seem to hold an additional risk of new cardiovascular events for patients with already existing cardiovascular disease. In this initial phase of ADT, metabolic changes are also most prominent. In addition, ADT increases the rate of bone loss and fracture risk. Currently available evidence supports the use of exercise interventions to improve physical function and mitigate ADT-induced fatigue. Some studies also indicate that exercise might moderate ADT-related changes in body composition. However, beneficial effects of exercise interventions on other ADT-related conditions have not been conclusively proven. Trials investigating the effects of ADT on fracture risk and development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease are still warranted. Furthermore, studies investigating safety and effects of physical activity in men with bone metastases are lacking.
