A groundbreaking international test involved in patients with the US, UK, Australia, France, Canada and Israel has discovered that the risk of cancer deaths after a structured exercise program after treatment may be less than third, repetition, or a new cancer growth and is more effective than drugs, the Guardian said.
Patients who started a structured exercise program with the support of an individual trainer or health coach after completing the treatment experienced 37% less risk of death and were 28% less at risk of repetition of cancer or new cancer compared to only health advice.
The annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world’s largest cancer conference, and the findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine were revealed in Chicago. For the first time in medical history, there is obvious evidence that according to one of the world’s leading cancer experts, exercise crosses many usually prescribed drugs in preventing recurrence and death of cancer.
In the test, researchers enrolled 889 colon cancer patients from 2009 to 2023, with a majority (90%) of phase three diseases. Patients were assigned to participate in a randomly a structured exercise program (445) or to get just a healthy lifestyle book (444).
Exercise group patients met with an individual trainer twice a month for coaching and supervision workouts, later reducing this routine for a total of three years, later reducing it once a month. The exercise group received coaching and support to help the Group reach specific exercise goals. His weekly target was equal to three to four walks that lasts from 45 to 60 minutes, although the patients were free to choose their favorite activities, some chose for kayaking or skiing, for example.
After five years, those in the exercise group showed a 28% lower risk of cancer recurrence or new cancer compared to the control group. After eight years, he had a 37% lower risk of death than patients who had only received a healthy lifestyle booklet.
ASCO Chief Medical Officer talks out
Dr. Julie Gralo, the Chief Medical Officer of ASCO and not involved in the decade study, described the quality of the conclusions as the “highest level of evidence” and said that they would bring a major change in identifying the importance of “during and after treatment promoting physical activity.”
“We gave the title [the session it was presented in] It is good as a medicine. I must have retit it better than a medicine, because you do not have all side-effects. This is the same magnitude of the benefits of many drugs that are approved for such a magnitude of profit – 28% reduced the risk of the event, 37% reduced the risk of death. Drugs are approved for less than that, and they are expensive and they are toxic. When I started three decades ago, it was still the era where we would be gentle and say, do not overduce yourself when you are on chemo. We have reversed it. I will say [exercise is] Better than a medicine, ”the guardian told him.
