Speaker: Dr. Patricia C. Brum
Title: Exercise in Cancer cachexia: Impact of aerobic training upon skeletal muscle
In this talk, Dr. Patricia C. Brum will address the benefits of aerobic exercise training to combat skeletal muscle wasting in cancer, focusing on the mechanisms by which aerobic exercise training counteracts cancer cachexia. The relevance of the theme is the fact that skeletal myopathy has been identified as a major comorbidity of cancer patients leading to a poor prognosis associated with reduced antineoplastic tolerability, shortness of breath, early fatigue, and exercise intolerance. Dr. Patricia C. Brum will present data from a recently published study that shows the relationship between muscle functionality and non-small cell lung cancer. At the end of the talk, the audience will be aware of the benefits of aerobic exercise training in cancer cachexia and its impact in muscle proteostasis providing scientific support for using exercise training as an adjuvant strategy for prevention and treatment of cancer.

Time: 9 am CET
Speaker: Dr. Helene Rundqvist
Title: Effects of physical activity on T-cell mobilization and immune surveillance – consequences for breast cancer prognosis
Maintaining a physically active lifestyle after a breast cancer diagnosis is associated with a reduced risk of recurrence and improved cancer specific survival. Exercise induced shifts in immune function has been suggested as a potential mechanism for the beneficial effects. In this seminar, Dr. Helene Rundqvist will discuss the acute effects of a single bout of exercise on the immune system and the evidence for immune-mediated antineoplastic effects of long-term exercise in animal models, in healthy humans and in patients with primary and metastatic breast cancer.

Time: 9 am AEDT
Speaker: Dr. Mary Kennedy
Title: Improving delivery of exercise in oncology: an implementation science approach
Exercise has been identified as an important therapy for people with cancer; however, it is rarely included as part of routine cancer care. Implementation science (i.e. the study of how to facilitate the use of evidence-based strategies in clinical practice) approaches are needed to improve the delivery of best practice care. In this talk, Dr. Mary Kennedy will explore common barriers to exercise delivery and strategies for success.

Speaker: Dr. Anne May
Title: Effects of exercise in patients with metastatic disease.
In this talk, Dr. Anne May will present the current evidence from randomized controlled trials on the effects of exercise for patients with metastatic disease. Dr. Anne May will highlight the results of the PREFERABLE-EFFECT study and report on the effects of the 9-month exercise intervention on physical fitness, patient-reported outcomes as well the findings regarding cost-effectiveness. Moreover, a patient’s perspective will be addressed.
