Exercise helps cancer survivors cope with and recover from treatment; exercise may improve the health of long term cancer survivors and extend survival. Physical exercise will benefit throughout the spectrum of cancer. However, an understanding of the amount, type and intensity of exercise needed has not been fully elucidated. There is sufficient evidence to promote exercise in cancer survivors following careful assessment and tailoring on exercise prescription.
"The field  of  oncology will benefit  from understanding the importance of  physical activity both for primary prevention as well as in helping cancer survivors cope with and recover from treatments, improve the health of long term cancer survivors and possibly even reduce the risk of  recurrence and extend survival after a cancer diagnosis" (P. Rajarajeswaran,  R. Vishnupriya)
Additional studies will be needed to more firmly establish physical activity benefits to cancer survivors.
