Exercise Training for Cancer Survivors

Current Treatment Options in Oncology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Opinion statement

Cardiovascular diseases are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. Furthermore, some cancer therapies are now being increasingly recognized to have negative cardiovascular effects, or cardiotoxicity. Exercise therapy has been found to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer as well as attenuate the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy. It is the centerpiece for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. It is also an important component in cardio-oncology rehabilitation. Exercise is generally safe, and its benefit is observed when started as soon as the diagnosis of cancer and throughout cancer survivorship.
