Impact of Lifestyle Modifications on Cancer Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2025; 61:307. [PMID: 40005424 PMCID: PMC11857246 DOI: 10.3390/medicina61020307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2025] [Revised: 01/26/2025] [Accepted: 02/07/2025] [Indexed: 02/27/2025]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cancer survival poses significant challenges in oncology, with lifestyle modifications increasingly recognized as crucial in modifying patient outcomes post-diagnosis. This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluate the impact of various lifestyle interventions on cancer survival across different types of cancer. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane was performed to identify relevant studies up to 30 November 2024. Relevant studies were chosen and data were extracted and analyzed using SPSS Version 29.0 software. Results: Our systematic review included data from 98 studies involving a total of 1,461,834 cancer patients to evaluate the impact of lifestyle factors on cancer survival. Out of these, 64 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that adherence to specific dietary patterns significantly improves cancer-specific outcomes. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) diet was associated with a reduction in cancer-specific mortality (pooled log HR: -0.22; 95% CI: [-0.32, -0.12]; p < 0.001). Similar benefits were observed with the Mediterranean diet (aMED), which also reduced cancer mortality and recurrence (pooled log HR: -0.24; 95% CI: [-0.40, -0.07]; p < 0.001), and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet (pooled log HR: -0.22; 95% CI: [-0.33, -0.12]; p < 0.001). Additionally, general dietary improvements were beneficial for breast cancer-specific mortality across 17 cohort studies (pooled log HR: -0.15; 95% CI: [-0.25, -0.06]; p < 0.001). Engaging in any form of physical activity post-diagnosis was associated with significant improvements in cancer-specific mortality or recurrence (pooled log HR: -0.31; 95% CI: [-0.38, -0.25]; p < 0.001). Participants who ceased smoking after diagnosis exhibited more favorable cancer outcomes (pooled log HR: -0.33; 95% CI: [-0.42, -0.24]; p < 0.001), with smoking cessation notably reducing cancer-specific mortality among lung cancer survivors (pooled log HR: -0.34; 95% CI: [-0.48, -0.20]; p < 0.001). Additionally, reducing alcohol intake post-diagnosis significantly improved cancer outcomes (pooled log HR: -0.26; 95% CI: [-0.33, -0.19]; p < 0.001). Alcohol moderation in gastrointestinal tract cancer survivors specifically decreased both cancer-specific mortality and recurrence (pooled log HR: -0.22; 95% CI: [-0.29, -0.15]; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Lifestyle modifications after cancer diagnosis significantly improve cancer-specific outcomes. Specific dietary patterns, increased physical activity, smoking cessation, and reduced alcohol intake are all associated with lower cancer-specific mortality. Integrating these lifestyle changes into oncology care may enhance patient survival and quality of life.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024; 39:4859-4870. [PMID: 38888371 DOI: 10.1002/tox.24359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the primary inducer of cancer-related death worldwide. Asiaticoside (ATS) is a triterpenoid saponin that has been indicated to possess an antitumor activity in several malignancies. Nonetheless, its detailed functions in NSCLC remain unclarified. In this study, NSCLC cells were exposed to various doses of ATS. Functional experiments were employed to estimate the ATS effect on NSCLC cell behaviors. Western blotting was implemented for protein expression evaluation. A xenograft mouse model was established to assess the ATS effect on NSCLC in vivo. The results showed that ATS restrained NSCLC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, and invasiveness. ATS reversed TGF-β-induced promotion in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Mechanistically, ATS inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling in NSCLC. Upregulating β-catenin restored ATS-mediated suppression of NSCLC cell aggressiveness. Moreover, ATS administration repressed tumorigenesis in tumor-bearing mice. In conclusion, ATS represses growth and metastasis in NSCLC by blocking EMT via the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Jawad MU, Pollock BH, Wise BL, Zeitlinger LN, O' Donnell EF, Carr-Ascher JR, Cizik A, Ferrell B, Thorpe SW, Randall RL. Socioeconomic and insurance-related disparities in disease-specific survival among patients with metastatic bone disease. J Surg Oncol 2022; 127:159-173. [PMID: 36121418 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 5% of cancer patients in the United States presented with metastatic bone disease (MBD) at diagnosis. Current study explores the disparities in survival for patients with MBD. METHODS Patients with the diagnosis of MBD at presentation for the five most common primary anatomical sites were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Census tract-level dataset (2010-2016). Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazard models were used to evaluate survival, and prognostic factors for each cohort. Prognostic significance of socioeconomic status (SES) and insurance status were ascertained. RESULTS The five most common anatomical-sites with MBD at presentation included "lung" (n = 59 739), "prostate" (n = 19 732), "breast" (n = 16 244), "renal and urothelium" (n = 7718) and "colon" (n= 3068). Lower SES was an independent risk factor for worse disease-specific survival (DSS) for patients with MBD originating from lung, prostate, breast and colon. Lack of insurance was an independent risk factor for worse DSS for MBD patients with primary tumors in lung and breast. CONCLUSIONS MBD patients from the five most common primary sites demonstrated SES and insurance-related disparities in disease-specific survival. This is the first and largest study to explore SES and insurance-related disparities among patients specifically afflicted with MBD. Our findings highlight vulnerability of patients with MBD across multiple primary sites to financial toxicity.
