(Reuters Health) - Exercise may help improve quality of life for some 
cancer patients during treatment as well as afterward, a new analysis of 
previous research suggests.

.

Even though physical activity isnt routinely prescribed as part of usual 
care for cancer patients, the analysis found a variety of activities such 
as walking, swimming, cycling and strength or stability training 
associated with better physical, mental, emotional and social functioning.

.

Most patients, oncologists and surgical oncologists assume that patients 
with cancer should rest, especially if they are treated with chemotherapy, 
said study co-author Dr. Arnaud Vincent, a neurosurgeon at Erasmus MC in 
Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

.

To assess whether exercise might benefit cancer patients, Vincent and 
co-author Jasper Gerritsen examined data from 16 previously published 
studies, most of which randomly assigned some participants to do physical 
activity and others to receive only usual care.

.

Cancer types varied across the trials. Five studies involved breast cancer 
patients, while two focused on people with lymphoma. Six included people 
with a variety of tumor types.

.

Overall, across all of the studies combined, the 877 patients assigned to 
exercise reported significantly better quality of life than the people in 
the control groups that didnt follow the fitness routines, the researchers 
report in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
