Observational Studies-Physical Activity-Cancer Survivors-Cancer Diagnosis-Types Of Cancer

Physical Activity, Biomarkers, and Disease Outcomes in Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review

ConclusionsFuture research directions identified include the need for more observational studies on additional types of cancer with larger sample sizes; the need to examine whether the association between physical activity and mortality varies by tumor, clinical, or risk factor characteristics; and the need for research on the biological mechanisms involved in the association between physical activity and survival after a cancer diagnosis. Future randomized controlled trials of exercise with biomarker and cancer-specific disease endpoints, such as recurrence, new primary cancers, and cancer-specific mortality in cancer survivors, are warranted.
