Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and PCa

[snoraste]

I found this very interesting. To me, whether directly or indirectly, points to a connection between proper exercise regiment and OS.

"Conclusion:

We demonstrate that sarcopenia may be associated with worse overall survival in patients with mPCa/CRPC and although obesity appears to be protective, this relationship is not evident among patients with sarcopenia."

"Conclusion

Sarcopenia is an independent predictive factor for a poor tolerance to docetaxel treatment. Given that cessation of the treatment leads to death from the disease, our study identified sarcopenia as an independent factor that raises mortality risk."

to snoraste:

SarcopeniS loss is the most important one for all of us.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I am convinced that my exercise regime (swimming laps 4-5 days/week) is an important part of my systemic therapy for Stage IV MPCa. I also refuse to give up my love of red wine and certain single malt adult beverages!

I too swim about a 1km, 2-3 times a week, and cardio/weight 2-3 times. And always a yes to red wine.
