PMID: 36564177
Solid tumors contain hypoxic regions that contribute to anticancer therapy resistance. Thus, mitigating tumor hypoxia may enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy which is commonly utilized for patients with prostate...

PMID: 33527018
Background: Recent evidence suggests prostate cancer independent of treatment has atrophic effects on whole heart and left ventricular (LV) masses, associated with reduced endurance exercise capacity. In a pre-clinical model,...

PMID: 31161883
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention, yet with prolonged MV (i.e., ≥6 h) there are time-dependent reductions in diaphragm blood flow and an impaired hyperemic response of unknown origin....

Am J Cancer Res
. 2019 May;
9(4):650-667.
PMID: 31105994
Physical activity is associated with diminished risk of several cancers, and preclinical studies suggest exercise training may alter tumor cell growth in certain tissue(s) (e.g., adipose). From moderate-intensity exercise-trained rats...

. 2018 Dec;
126(3):668-680.
PMID: 30571286
Prostate cancer was found to reduce cardiac and left ventricle (LV) masses in association with diminished exercise capacity in rats. We tested the hypothesis that exercise training will mitigate prostate...

PMID: 29312809
Exercise capacity is reduced in prostate cancer patients concurrently treated with androgen deprivation therapy compared to healthy counterparts. We tested the hypothesis that prostate cancer independently reduces endurance exercise capacity...

PMID: 29166299
An imbalance in oxygen delivery to demand in solid tumors results in local areas of hypoxia leading to poor prognosis for the patient. We hypothesize that aerobic exercise increases tumor...

PMID: 28493878
Background: The contribution of 5α-reductase 1 and 5α-reductase 2 to prostate cancer development and progression is not clearly understood. TRAMP mice are a common prostate cancer model, in which 5α-reductase...
