Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, with over 10 million deaths recorded each year. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, its incidence continues to increase. In this context, physical exercise emerges as an important cancer prevention and treatment strategy.
In recent years, scientific research has demonstrated the importance of exercise in increasing survival and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Physical exercise can also improve response to therapy (e.g., chemotherapy and radiotherapy), reduce side effects of the same and improve muscle strength, physical function, cardiovascular system and quality of life of cancer patients. However, the mechanisms underlying these benefits are not fully understood, making exercise a promising research therapy for the next few years.
Exercise, administered as a medicine, has its own specific and well-defined dosage according to the type of cancer and its stage, taking into account the specific clinical conditions of the patient. In this course, we will discuss the benefits of exercise in the cancer population and the mechanisms that underlie these benefits.
