Abstract:
Physical activity provides numerous health benefits for cancer survivors. This review provides a summary of the evidence supporting the efficacy of physical activity to improve patient-reported and physiological outcomes during and after cancer therapy, discusses observational studies that have reported associations of physical activity with cancer outcomes and prognosis, summarizes ongoing phase III randomized trials of physical activity with clinical disease endpoints in cancer survivors, describes randomized trials of physical activity that have examined biomarkers hypothesized to relate to cancer outcomes and prognosis, reviews current guidelines for physical activity promotion among cancer survivors, and provides recommendations for novel strategies to disseminate and implement this evidence into clinical oncology practice to optimize patient outcomes.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
