“On par with the best treatment out there”!!!

When facing down a cancer diagnosis, patients often ask what can help their odds. The answer, data increasingly shows, is to go back to the basics: exercise and a good diet.

Knowing that more movement and a healthy diet are good for a person’s health seems obvious, but growing evidence is finding that they could also boost some cancer patients’ lifespans or responses to therapy.

A new study showed that colorectal cancer patients enrolled in a structured exercise program with a trainer had a 37% lower risk of death after eight years, compared with patients who only received educational information on exercise.

“That is on par with the best treatments out there,” said Peter Campbell, a cancer epidemiologist at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York, who wasn’t involved in the trial.

“If this were a therapeutic, people would leave the building to go order this drug for their patients on Monday morning.”
