Protocol proposal for exercise prescription in cancer patients or cancer survivors for the prevention of cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer correspond to the first and second causes of death worldwide. They share common risk factors: aging, unhealthy lifestyles, among others; with the attenuating circumstance that cancer patients or survivors may develop cardiotoxicity due to their treatment. Therefore, the prevention and treatment strategies in some of its approaches are also similar. Diseases can be considered simultaneous or consecutive, they can coexist in the same patient, so a multidisciplinary approach is appropriate, based on risk assessment, physical training, optimization of drug therapy, healthy lifestyle counseling, control of cardiovascular risk factors, psychological support, adherence to a more active lifestyle with the consequent improvement in cardiopulmonary and therefore functional capacity. This document intends to propose a protocol proposal for the prescription of exercise in cancer patients or cancer survivors for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, based on international consensus recommendations.
