Objective To conduct a scoping review of studies related to exercise interventions in pancreatic cancer patients, and to provide references for the development of standardized exercise protocols for these patients. Methods Based on Arksey and O′Malley′s scoping review framework, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang and CBM databases until 15 February, 2023. The retrieved literature was then screened and information was extracted. Results A total of 17 publications were included in this review. The content of exercise interventions for pancreatic cancer patients consisted of intervention timing, intervention providers, types of exercise, places for exercise, exercise duration, exercise frequency and intensity, intervention duration, whether combined with nutrition support or not, and outcome measures. Conclusion Exercise interventions are feasible, reliable, and effective for improving body composition, physical function, outcomes and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, there is considerable variation in the specific content of exercise interventions, and more evidence is needed to establish optimal exercise intervention protocols.
