💨 Abstract

A landmark trial suggests that exercise is as effective as drugs in preventing cancer recurrence. The study found that bowel cancer patients who followed a tailored exercise program after treatment reduced their risk of death or relapse by up to 37%. The program, involving personal trainers, also showed benefits for breast and prostate cancers. Experts recommend prescribing exercise to cancer survivors, highlighting its significant health benefits and cost-effectiveness.
