An international trial revealed that colon cancer patients engaging in a structured exercise program can decrease their risk of dying by approximately one-third. The trial involved 889 patients, half of whom participated in routine exercise sessions after chemotherapy, while the control group received only lifestyle advice. Results showed significant improvements in cancer-free survival and mortality rates. The findings suggest re-evaluation of treatment protocols, emphasizing exercise as an integral part of cancer recovery, and researchers are considering similar approaches for other cancers.
The exercise programme for colon cancer patients can cut the risk of dying by a third, showcasing the potential of physical activity in cancer treatment.
We may need to rethink treatment approaches, as physical activity has measurable benefits in survival rates and overall health for colon cancer patients.
