Exercises that boost survival and lower recurrence risk

Research indicates that engaging in regular exercise within comprehensive programs alongside medical treatment may help improve survival rates and reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence. The study, conducted across several regions worldwide, involved more than 8,400 patients with breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers. It demonstrated that individuals who incorporated both aerobic and resistance exercises into their treatment reduced their risk of death by up to 26% and the risk of disease recurrence by 17%. The findings highlight the importance of exercise as an effective part of supportive care, especially when patients complete at least 70% of the prescribed training program. They also confirm that combined aerobic and resistance exercises yield more positive results than resistance training alone.
