Exercise Oncology

Exercise oncology is a field of research and clinical practice that studies the role of physical exercise in the prevention, treatment, and management of cancer.

Benefits of Exercise for Cancer Patients

  • Improved Physical Functioning: Exercise helps to maintain and improve muscle strength, aerobic capacity, flexibility, balance and coordination.

  • Reduction of Treatment Side Effects: Physical activity can mitigate common side effects of cancer treatments, such as fatigue, nausea, and pain.

  • Enhanced Immune Function: Regular exercise can bolster the immune system, which is often compromised during cancer treatment.

  • Improved Psychological Well-Being: Exercise reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression, improves mood, and enhances overall quality of life.

  • Maintenance of Healthy Body Weight: Exercise can help manage weight, which is important as obesity is a risk factor for cancer recurrence.

  • Better Treatment Tolerance: Physically active patients often tolerate chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments better.

Considerations for Exercise in Cancer Patients

  • Fatigue Management: Adjusting exercise intensity and duration based on the patient’s energy levels and fatigue status.

  • Bone Health: Weight-bearing exercises to improve bone density, particularly important for patients at risk of osteoporosis due to cancer treatments.

  • Lymphedema Precautions: Specific exercises to manage or prevent lymphedema, especially in patients who have undergone lymph node removal.

  • Cardiac Health: Monitoring cardiovascular response to exercise, especially in patients who have received cardiotoxic treatments.

  • Infection Control: Precautions to minimize infection risk in immunocompromised patients, including ensuring clean exercise environments and proper hygiene practices.
