Regular exercise could be considered a wonder-drug for cancer patients. Research shows it eases side effects from treatment, lower people’s relative risk of having a recurrence and, in fact, lowers their risk of dying from cancer. Despite this, most people with cancer don’t exercise regularly and exercise isn’t prescribed as part of routine cancer care.
Ex-Med Cancer is a new program designed to counteract the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment through exercise medicine. Learn more about the research evidence and this safe, effective and feasible community based service in a forum accessible for all health professionals, patients and community members.
Associate Professor Prue Cormie is an exercise physiologist whose research and clinical work focuses on the application of exercise as medicine for the management of cancer.
