A Phase III clinical trial of exercise modalities on treatment side-effects in men receiving therapy for prostate cancer

激素疗法对治疗前列腺癌非常有效，但它也会产生一些副作用，包括肌肉和骨质流失，脂肪增加，以及心脏病和糖尿病死亡风险的增加。在其他人群中，体育锻炼已被证明对预防此类问题特别有效，但没有针对前列腺癌患者的长期研究证实这一点。从这项研究中获得的知识有可能显著减少痛苦并提高生存率。

Hormone therapy is very effective for treating prostate cancer however it produces a number of side effects including muscle and bone loss, fat gain, and increased risk of death from heart disease and diabetes. In other populations physical exercise has proven particulary effective for preventing such problems however no long term studies with prostate cancer patients have ever confirmed this. Knowledge gained from this study has potential to markedly reduce suffering and increase survival.
