Exercise shows benefits for cancer survival, disease progression, and quality of life, unlike other complementary therapies.

“but none of those other interventions have shown any benefits for survival any benefits for the disease itself or risk of recurrence and then you look at the treatments we give for cancer like chemotherapy radiation therapy all those interventions benefit at the survival side of things but they often times undermine quality of life they make symptoms and side effects worse exercise is one of these few interventions potentially for patients that can help both with quality of life side effect symptoms and also improve disease free survival”
