A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates that exercise is beneficial in preventing the recurrence of colon cancer after treatment. Conducted between 2009 and 2024, the randomized trial involved 889 patients post-surgery and chemotherapy, divided into an exercise group and a health education group. The exercise group engaged in structured programs, receiving behavioral support and a personal trainer, while the control group received health education alone. Results indicated that exercise contributes positively to overall health and cancer recovery, emphasizing the importance of combining physical activity with medical care.
The study highlighted that combining structured exercise with chemotherapy can improve overall health outcomes in colon cancer recovery, showing that exercise should complement medical treatments.
Patients who participated in structured exercise programs had better health outcomes than those who only received health education materials, reinforcing the importance of an active lifestyle post-cancer treatment.
