Prospective Evaluation of a 12-Week Walking Exercise Program and Its Effect on Fatigue in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Radical External Beam Radiotherapy

Abstract

Moderate-intensity walking exercise during radical EBRT is safe and feasible. The high convenience and satisfaction ratings, in conjunction with the observed fatigue trends, indicate that this activity has the potential to attenuate fatigue and improve quality of life for patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing curative therapy.
