Exercise Interventions in Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment
This review highlights exercise intervention as a key nonpharmacological approach for managing Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment. Urgent priorities for future research include the following: (1) conducting high-quality randomized controlled trials to validate exercise tolerability in patients undergoing active treatment; (2) developing multimodal assessment frameworks that integrate neuroimaging and blood-based biomarkers; and (3) establishing personalized exercise guidelines tailored to specific cancer types and treatment phases. Additionally, future studies should focus on clarifying the biological mechanisms that underpin the cognitive improvements associated with exercise. This will help create a stronger evidence base for precision exercise prescription.
