Exercise May Improve Quality of Life for Some Cancer Patients BY LISA RAPAPORT Health Friday January 8, 2016 12:55pm EST Reuters http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-cancer-qol-idUSKBN0UM23L20160108 . . (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. . snip . 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. . .
