Higher levels of physical activity significantly increase survival in women with colorectal cancer
Cet article fait le point sur les études montrant qu'un niveau d'activité physique élevé augmente de manière significative la survie chez les femmes atteintes d'un cancer colorectal
A recent analysis shows that women with colorectal cancer who engage in recreational physical activity before and after their diagnosis have significantly better survival (Cancer Causes Control. 2012;23:1939-1948). ‘‘We already have many good reasons to ask patients to exercise, but this article gives us another reason to emphasize being active, and staying active, after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer,’’ says corresponding author Amanda Phipps, PhD, staff scientist in the public health sciences division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.
