WASHINGTON (AP) Cancer survivors, better work up a sweat.
New guidelines are urging survivors to exercise more, even hard as it may
sound those who haven't yet finished their treatment.
New guidelines are urging survivors to exercise more, even hard as it may
sound those who haven't yet finished their treatment.
There's growing evidence that physical activity improves quality of life
and eases some cancer-related fatigue. More, it can help fend off a
serious decline in physical function that can last long after therapy is
finished.
Consider: In one year, women who needed chemotherapy for their breast
cancer can see a swapping of muscle for fat that's equivalent to 10 years
of normal aging, says Dr. Wendy Demark-Wahnefried of the University of
Alabama at Birmingham.
In other words, a 45-year-old may find herself with the fatter, weaker
body type of a 55-year-old.
Scientists have long advised that being overweight and sedentary increases
the risk for various cancers. Among the nation's nearly 12 million cancer
survivors, there are hints although not yet proof that people who are
more active may lower risk of a recurrence. And like everyone who ages,
the longer cancer survivors live, the higher their risk for heart disease
that exercise definitely fights.
The American College of Sports Medicine convened a panel of cancer and
exercise specialists to evaluate the evidence. Guidelines issued this
month advise cancer survivors to aim for the same amount of exercise as
recommended for the average person: about 2 1/2 hours a week.
Patients still in treatment may not feel up to that much, the guidelines
acknowledge, but should avoid inactivity on their good days.
