Exercise could help avoid cancer recurrence
Scientific studies indicate that regular exercise helps cancer patients, particularly those with colon and breast cancer, reduce the chances of disease recurrence, improve quality of life, and increase survival rates. A three-year clinical trial showed that colon cancer patients who participated in a structured exercise program achieved a 90% survival rate after eight years, compared to 83% among those who did not participate. Additionally, the program contributed to lowering healthcare costs by reducing hospital admissions and emergency visits, although exercise programs for patients remain limited in spread and often rely on donations. It is expected that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will begin offering insurance coverage for an exercise program for breast cancer patients next year, with plans to expand it to include other types of cancer by 2028. Experts emphasize that sports have a meaningful therapeutic role in cancer treatment and offer significant health and economic benefits.
