May support exercise for cardiotoxicity mitigation in breast cancer survivors; leaves open optimal dosing and confirmatory RCTs.
Does exercise prevent cardiovascular toxicity and modify cardiovascular risk factors in breast cancer survivors?
Exercise may protect against chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer survivors by improving antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress, though further clinical research is needed to establish optimal dosing and efficacy.
Kirkham et al. (2015) conducted a review in Breast cancer with risk of cardiovascular disease. Exercise was evaluated. Exercise appears to protect against chemotherapy-associated cardiovascular toxicity in breast cancer survivors by improving antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress.
