Well SupportedSheer force from blood flow during exercise can kill circulating cancer cells.

Well SupportedAerobic exercise as an adjunct treatment for stage 3 colon cancer is associated with a 40% reduction in disease recurrence and a 63% reduction in mortality.

Partially SupportedEngaging in physical activity is associated with a lower likelihood of cancer recurrence or metastasis in individuals with circulating tumor cells.

Partially SupportedHigher circulating tumor cell counts are linked to a three times higher risk of cancer recurrence and a four times higher risk of cancer mortality.
