The Clinical Oncology Society of Australia has just released a position statement calling for exercise to be embedded as part of standard practice in cancer care. Prescription of appropriate exercise by an exercise specialist with experience in cancer care is recommended.
"We're at a point where the level of evidence is really indisputable and withholding exercise from patients is probably harmful.”

Some more research backing the beneficial role of targeted exercise for those with breast cancer. ‘Both muscle and adiposity represent modifiable risk factors in patients with breast cancer.’
‘Patients with Sarcopenia (low muscle mass) and higher levels of fat mass had worse overall survival than those without sarcopenia or low adiposity.’

A lot of the words used to describe low back pain are pretty scary, however such findings on scans are often not the cause of pain. It would appear, for example, that disc degeneration is a normal result of ageing. 2015 stats show that on imaging:
37% of 20 year olds, 68% of 40 year olds, 88% of 60 year olds, and 96% of 80 year olds show disc degeneration. Those numbers are also high in relation to disc bulges and herniations etc. This does not mean that all of those people experience low back pain. Many do not. Our backs change through our lifetime, it's normal, and people without pain show change.
