Overview
Why should cancer survivors exercise?
If you are being treated for cancer, or recovering, you may have thought it was important to rest, but research shows that tailored exercise benefits most people with cancer before, during and after treatment. Being active can help manage some of the common side effects of treatment, speed up recovery and improve quality of life. Research suggests that exercise may help lower the chances of cancer returning in some people by as much as 50-60%.
