When it comes to cancer recovery and prevention, most patients focus on treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. However, emerging research and clinical insights are now highlighting another powerful ally in the fight against cancer — exercise.

Dr. Mangesh P Kamath, Senior Consultant at Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics, one of the leading cancer hospitals in Bangalore, emphasizes the role of regular physical activity in reducing the risk of cancer recurrence and improving survival outcomes.

“Exercise can be done in different levels: low, moderate, and high intensity,” says Dr. Kamath. “Since it can be difficult for patients to do high-intensity exercises during or after cancer treatment, moderate exercises like brisk walking or sports like badminton are recommended.”

According to studies and clinical experience, moderate physical activity can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by nearly 30%. Moreover, more than one-third of patients showed a significantly lower risk of death when they incorporated exercise into their post-treatment lifestyle.

More Than Just Colon Cancer

While the benefits of exercise in preventing the recurrence of colon cancer are well known, Dr. Mangesh Kamath highlights that regular physical activity also plays a preventive role in other cancers such as breast cancer and lung cancer.

“Not just colon cancer, exercise can also help prevent the risk of occurrence of many cancers, such as breast and lung cancer, increasing the overall quality of life,” he adds.
