A 55-year-old male with hemophilia A came to the outpatient clinic with chest pain for several days after overdose injection of coagulation factor. He was a heavy smoker and a chronic alcoholic. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed no specific change. A coronary computed tomography showed moderate stenosis with soft plaque at the distal segment of right coronary artery. His pain was improved with antianginal and reflux medications. Twenty days later, he ran to the emergency room complaining of squeezing chest pain. ECG showed mild ST segment elevation in inferior territories. Invasive coronary angiography via right radial artery revealed severe thrombotic occlusion at the same lesion. A bare metal stent was deployed and dual antiplatelet therapy including aspirin and clopidogrel had been maintained for 6 months under the conventional hemophilia management. The patient did not develop any coronary events just with single clopidogrel therapy for 5 years until he passed away from pancreatic cancer. Our case implicates that the invasive coronary intervention and post-procedural management could be safely performed with conventional standards of care while maintaining the usual dose of coagulation factors in a hemophilia patient with acute coronary syndrome.

Exercise has long been recognized as an important component of treatment for various diseases. However, the benefits and risks of exercise interventions must be carefully evaluated to ensure the former outweighs the latter. As cancer patients undergo diverse treatment modalities with distinct objectives, a systematic approach partitioning the cancer journey into distinct phases is necessary to inform tailored exercise prescriptions. This narrative review summarizes exercise benefits and mechanisms for cancer patients and survivors across four distinct survivorship periods—before surgery, after surgery and before adjuvant treatment, during nonsurgical treatment (adjuvant and neoadjuvant), and during extended survival. In summary, exercise reduces the risks of complications and declines in physical functioning while improving fatigue, quality of life, and the ability to manage treatment effects. Although additional research is warranted, existing evidence is sufficient to integrate exercise into clinical oncology practice and cancer survivorship programs.
