UPMC Oncologist: Treat Yourself to Exercise
By: Abdalla Sholi, M.D.
UPMC Hillman Cancer Center
While rest is always an important component of treatment and recovery, so is physical activity. After all, exercise has so many health benefits.
For years, physicians have recommended exercise to reduce the risk of developing cancer and to help cancer survivors thrive after treatment ends. But what about exercising during cancer treatment? Is it beneficial? Until recently, there were no recommendations.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recently issued the first-ever evidence-based exercise guidelines for adults in active cancer treatment.
Benefits of Exercise During Cancer Treatments
There is now good evidence that exercise, such as walking or structured exercise classes, can improve outcomes for cancer patients. In general, exercise can improve the body’s response to treatment, no matter the stage or type of cancer.
