Abstract. Background Breast cancer is still a major medical, social and economic problem due to the increasing prevalence and unsatisfactory treatment results. In 2013, nearly 235,000 new cases of breast cancer were reported in the United States, which accounted for 29% of all malignant neoplasms and was related to 14% risk of death. Based on current trends, over 23 million of new cases will be diagnosed by the year 2030 (1).Numerous scientific reports indicate the impact of physical activity on the development of breast cancer. However, the results are not conclusive (2-9). Westerlind et al. found that in girls aged 10-15 who were more active than their peers with a sedentary lifestyle the risk for developing breast cancer decreased by 30-50% (2). Studies on animal models also confirm this thesis. Malicka et al. demonstrated that moderate intensity training reduced the number of induced tumors in rats (4). Other studies showed that in animals physically active at puberty (rodent treadmill, tunnels and ladders), the risk of developing the disease is decreased, the possible tumor development is delayed and smaller-sized tumors are observed (5-11). Currently, a longer survival time is observed in individuals after cancer treatment who regularly exercise (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Holmes et al. demonstrated a reduction in the risk of death due to breast cancer in women who exercised (3-5 hours per week) after treatment compared to women with a sedentary lifestyle (18). Other research groups have confirmed these results (19)(20)(21)(22). Walsh et al. and Daroux-Cole et al. suggested that exercise stimulated the immune system in cancer patients (23,24). Fairey et al. found an increase in the number of NK cells in the blood of women who trained and had previously undergone breast cancer treatment (13). It should also be noted that Demarzo and Garcia demonstrated an increase of breast tumor incidence in rats after intense exercise compared to untrained rats (25). Experiments on rats are a recognized model of experimental breast cancer research. The mammary gland model of rodents shows a significant similarity to the human mammary gland. In rodents, terminal end buds are the basic structures forming the mammary ridge while in humans it is the duct lobular unit which forms the 249 This article is freely accessible online.

“…In elderly patients, age-related changes in body composition, as well as the increased prevalence of obesity, determine the combination of excess weight and reduced muscle mass or strength [9][10][11][12]. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, prostate, and ovarian cancers [13,14].…”

This study is focused on the fact that in the context of increasing global aging and cancer diagnoses, additional challenges arise in clinical care. Adequate functionality and body composition are key to coping with antineoplastic treatment, which can lead to better treatment tolerance, survival, and quality of life. This is a cross-sectional comparative study focused on the assessment and comparison of body composition and functionality between cancer patients and a reference population, with the aim of establishing meaningful baseline values. Techniques such as manual dynamometry, the Five-Times Sit-to-Stand test, and bioimpedance were used to collect data from 374 oncologic patients and 1244 reference individuals. The results reveal significant disparities in functionality and body composition among participants, and provide age group-specific adjusted baseline values for those diagnosed with cancer. These findings may have crucial clinical implications for applying particular cut-off points designed for this population group, which makes the assessment process faster and more accurate, enhances the capacity of medical personnel to act quickly, and improves the management of frailty in cancer patients.
