Exercise Training for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients: A Systematic Review

Background and Aim

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often experience reduced muscle mass and physical function, leading to higher health risks. This review aimed to assess the impact of exercise training programs on muscle mass and physical function in HCC patients.

Methods

  • Systematic search in multiple databases for studies on exercise training in adults with HCC
  • Assessment of muscle mass and physical function as primary outcomes
  • Use of a tool to evaluate study quality and bias

Results

  • Eight studies involving 809 participants were included
  • Interventions included various types of exercise training
  • Four studies demonstrated significant improvements in muscle outcomes
  • Three studies showed maintenance of muscle outcomes, while one showed a decrease
  • Four articles reported statistically significant improvements in physical fitness variables, and two showed maintenance of physical function

Conclusion

The findings indicate that exercise training after HCC treatment may benefit patients by improving muscle mass and physical function.
