Forward2025 Endocrinology Grand Rounds | Exercise Therapy as a Candidate Anticancer Strategy
Research indicates that there is a need to further understand the importance of exercise and its impact at a biochemical level. There are indications that exercise can decrease cancer risk, as well as reduce fatigue and positively impact the quality of life of cancer patients. As such, it is imperative to to identify the opportunity for physical therapy and exercise as a supportive treatment modality.
There is a traditional belief that cancer patients are frail and should not do physical activity. This misconception, coupled with limited resources and a poor understanding of the importance of exercise, often leads to patient resistance to exercise. There is a need to educate both providers and patients on the importance of exercise via evidence-based science. This should result in increased referrals to physical and exercise therapy, improvement in interdepartmental communication and collaborative efforts for the overall benefit of the patient.
Target Audience
Faculty and Staff of Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism.
Learning Objectives
- Outline the biochemical impacts of exercise.
