The answer depends on your individual risk for bone fracture and the type of exercise. For most men with early prostate cancer, its safe to engage in light or moderate exercise. Physical activity is ...

A common diabetes drug may mimic one key effect of exercise in prostate cancer patients. Researchers found metformin boosts an “exercise molecule” linked to appetite and weight control, even in those ...

A common diabetes medication could help men with prostate cancer who develop hormone therapy-related metabolic syndrome through a biological process closely associated with exercise.An evaluation of ...

Researchers say metformin may mimic some benefits of exercise in prostate cancer patients, helping improve metabolism and manage treatment-related side effects.

February 1, 2012 — A new study suggests that vigorous physical activity will offer protection against prostate cancer progression because of its effects on DNA repair and cell-cycle pathways. The ...

A new study has found that metformin, a widely prescribed diabetes drug, may mimic one of exercise's core biological effects in men with prostate cancer, raising levels of a molecule tied to energy ...

Prostate cancer patients treated with the widely prescribed diabetes drug metformin showed elevated blood levels of N-lactoyl-phenylalanine, or Lac-Phe, a metabolite normally produced during vigorous ...

Researchers have identified a surprising metabolic effect of a widely used diabetes drug in men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.

Metformin raised the exercise-linked metabolite Lac-Phe in prostate cancer patients across disease stages and treatment settings, while Lac-Phe itself did not predict anticancer response. Patients in ...

A new study has found that a widely used diabetes drug, metformin, may produce some of the same effects in the body as ...

Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity, even below recommended levels, can significantly improve cancer survival ...

Androgen-directed therapies can precipitate weight gain, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk, creating a clinical need for metabolic support when fatigue, pain, or toxicity limits exercise ...
