Exercise Benefits Cancer Survivors
Kevin Anderson - Tuesday, August 09, 2011
In a new report released by MacMillan, a United Kingdom cancer charity, exercise can greatly benefit cancer survivors. Breast cancer patients' risk of recurrence and dying from the disease can be reduced by 40%, bowel cancer patients' by up to 50%, and prostate cancer patients' by up to 30%. Despite the findings however, most health professionals are not aware of this and are not talking to their patients about it. To view the report on MacMillan's website, please click here.
