The Long‐Term Effects of Exercise Mitigate Deleterious Healthspan Changes and Cancer Incidence in Mice Following Diet‐Induced Obesity and Radiation Exposure
Abstract:There are nearly 16 million cancer survivors living in the United States today, with two‐thirds of them having received radiation therapy as part of their treatment. Furthermore, there is a concurrent increase in obesity and physical inactivity among this population. Combined with the effects of ionizing radiation (IR), these host factors are increasing the risk of secondary, treatment‐induced cancers and may contribute to poor healthspan outcomes in cancer survivors. As such, a
critical need exists to develo… Show more
