Physical activity and cancer outcomes research
Overview
Research indicates that physical activity can reduce cancer risk and improve survival rates. A clinical trial involving more than 1,700 colorectal cancer patients showed that a three-year exercise program led to a lower likelihood of disease recurrence.
Experts suggest exercise increases immune cell activity and can lower inflammation and insulin levels. Beyond physical benefits, activity during treatment may alleviate fatigue, anxiety, and depression, while potentially mitigating “chemo brain” by improving blood flow and supporting cognitive processes.
