A new randomized controlled trial involving nearly 900 cancer patients across six countries shows that structured exercise programs lead to improved cancer survival rates. Participants who participated in regular aerobic activities had a 37% lower risk of dying and a 28% lower risk of facing new or recurrent cancers when compared to a control group. Dr. Christopher Booth highlights that the findings provide definitive evidence of the survival benefits linked to exercise, advocating for its integration into standard cancer care following surgery and chemotherapy for colon cancer patients.
A recent study shows that a structured exercise program significantly improves cancer survival, providing strong evidence that exercise should be essential in treatment guidelines.
The study demonstrates exercise's impact on cancer outcomes, revealing a 37% reduced risk of death and a 28% lower risk of recurrence for participants in the exercise group.
Dr. Christopher Booth emphasizes that this research demonstrates exercise is not merely for quality of life but is crucial for survival among cancer patients.
With three years of structured exercise, patients had an impressive 80% disease-free rate after five years, underscoring the necessity of integrating exercise into standard cancer care.
