Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Belgium. Its treatment is mainly based on androgen-deprivation therapy, which is accompanied by some adverse effects (e.g., sarcopenic obesity, osteoporosis). We evaluated the benefits of a supervised exercise program combining endurance and resistance training on these adverse events, patient participation, and quality of life in twenty-seven prostate cancer patients treated with androgen-deprivation therapy. We observed a significant improvement in systolic blood pressure, quadriceps and hamstrings muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, distance in the six-minute walk test and depression.

L’adénocarcinome de la prostate est le cancer le plus fréquent chez l’homme en Belgique. Son traitement repose essentiellement sur l’hormonothérapie par déprivation androgénique qui s’accompagne d’un certain nombre d’effets indésirables (e.a. obésité sarcopénique, ostéoporose). Nous avons évalué les bénéfices d’un programme supervisé combinant exercices d’endurance et de résistance sur ces effets indésirables, la participation et la qualité de vie chez vingt-sept patients atteints d’un cancer de la prostate traités par hormonothérapie. Nous observons une amélioration significative de la pression artérielle systolique, de l’endurance musculaire au niveau des quadriceps et des ischio-jambiers, de l’endurance cardio-respiratoire, de la distance parcourue au test de marche de six minutes et des symptômes de dépression.
