Exercise May Affect Metabolism in Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment

Muhammad Shahid et al. Metabolites. .

Abstract

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a significant comorbidity for cancer patients and survivors. Physical activity (PA) has been found to be a strong gene modulator that can induce structural and functional changes in the brain. PA and exercise reduce the risk of cancer development and progression and has been shown to help in overcoming post-treatment syndromes. Exercise plays a role in controlling cancer progression through direct effects on cancer metabolism. In this review, we highlight several priorities for improving studies on CRCI in patients and its underlying potential metabolic mechanisms.

Keywords: cancer-related cognitive impairment; metabolism; metabolomics profiling; therapeutic exercise intervention.
