Over the past 10 years, there has been huge progress in the field of oncology with earlier diagnosis and an expansion of treatment options, leading to a growing number of older people living with cancer. That has meant that caring for older patients with cancer is now part of day-to-day oncology practices. This cohort often has geriatric syndromes and a higher prevalence of frailty and complex needs and preparing our clinical services to optimise care for these patients is essential. Whilst it is widely accepted that comprehensive geriatric assessments are of benefit to patients, only a small proportion of patients can access these through specialised teams during their cancer care. In the past few years there has been significant progress in this field throughout the United Kingdom (UK). The goal of this review is to inform other health care systems how to learn from what has been done in the UK.

The aim of this present review was to evaluate the effect of physical activity and nutritional interventions on sarcopenia in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>We performed a systematic literature review of studies investigating the impact of physical activity and nutritional interventions on muscle mass in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Relevant key words were searched in appropriate databases through December 2022. Review procedures were performed in line with guidelines from the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews and Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) guidelines.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Twelve studies were identified with 1461 participants of which 587 had advanced colorectal cancer. Eight studies were randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Only two studies exclusively reported on the population with advanced colorectal cancer. Physical activity and nutritional interventions explored were heterogenous. Studies reporting an improvement in muscle mass utilised protein supplementation (one study), moderate intensity aerobic exercise (one study), and assisted resistance training (two studies). However, only a small number of participants with advanced colorectal cancer were included in these studies. Risk of bias was moderate to high for most studies. Recruitment to physical activity interventions was often low although adherence to supervised interventions was high. Physical activity and nutritional interventions across studies were safe.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>A small number of studies with limited sample size and moderate-to-high risk of bias suggest that assisted resistance training and supported protein intake improve muscle mass in participants with cancer. However, there is currently sparse evidence for the effect of physical activity and nutritional interventions on sarcopenia in the setting of advanced and incurable colorectal cancer.
