Presentation Abstract
Exercise in Patients with Cancer
Exercise has been shown to be safe and beneficial to patients with both early and advanced cancers. The benefits range from improvements in function, symptoms, and quality of life, to reduction in mortality in cancer patients. Pre-clinical studies have also uncovered potential anti-tumor mechanisms of exercise.
