An active lifestyle can help protect against developing cancer, study of link between physical activity and the disease confirmsGardening, doing housework and walking the dog can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by up to 13%, according to research.The findings, from the largest ever study of the link between physical activity and the disease, have confirmed that an active lifestyle can help protect against developing cancer.In 8,000 women examined by researchers on the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer (Epic) those who were the most active were 13% less likely to get breast cancer than those who were inactive. Women who were moderately active run an 8% lower risk, added the study, published in the International Journal of Cancer and funded by Cancer Research UK.The re... read more..

Macmillan Cancer Support-The Daily Telegraph-Doctors And Nurses-Physical Activity
“Doctors and nurses need to ‘bust the myth’ that cancer patients should simply rest to recover,” The Daily Telegraph has reported. It says that a charity has found only one in five cancer patients who have been through treatment have been told how regular physical activity could benefit them.The Telegraph says that Macmillan Cancer Support has found that “only a fifth of patients who have been through treatment are told of the ‘wonder drug’ type benefits of exercise”.These benefits are spelled out in a review of medical research carried out by Macmillan to accompany a survey of cancer patients’ physical activity. These benefits, identified in systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials, include improvements in physical function and psychological wellbeing.Macmil... read more..

Physical Activity Levels-Physical Inactivity-Ecological Study-Global Impact
ConclusionThis ecological study estimated the global impact of physical inactivity and models the theoretical lives saved if physical inactivity levels were to be reduced across the globe.This study serves to highlight the large and wide-ranging impact of physical inactivity on global disease levels and death. However the following study limitations should be considered: Physical activity was based on self-reported physical activity levels, which can be misleading. The authors of the research say that this tends to underestimate differences between active and inactive people and so would underestimate the impact of physical inactivity globally. The researchers therefore concluded that their estimates ‘are likely to be very conservative’. Using a more objective measure of physical ... read more..

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