Exercise could extend life after a colon cancer diagnosis
Manage episode 487260787 series 5409
Something as simple as an exercise program post-chemotherapy could significantly increase the risk of survival in colon cancer.
A 17-year randomised-controlled trial found a 37 per cent lower risk of death in patients who participated in the three-year program.
This compared to a group that received exercise advice but didn't receive structured support.
Guest/s
- Professor Janette Vardy, professor of cancer medicine at the University of Sydney
- Professor Haryana Dhillon, professor of psycho-oncology at the University of Sydney
