dc.description.abstract | Cancer remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality [1]. Despite improved survival rates, many survivors face treatment-related side effects that compromise recovery, increase disease risk, and lower quality of life [2]. Over the past 20 years, exercise oncology has gained recognition for improving physical, psychological, cognitive, and clinical outcomes in cancer patients [4]. Epidemiological studies have also demonstrated that cancer survivors can reduce their recurrence risk when participating in regular exercise [3]. Due to this growing evidence base, physical activity and exercise are now recommended by major cancer organizations across the continuum of care—before, during, and after treatment [5,6]. | en_US |
