The three-year exercise program improved existence in patients with colon cancer and kept a disease in the bay, which is revealed by the first-time international use.

With the rival gains of some drugs, experts stated that cancer centers and insurance plans should consider coaching exercise, which take a new standard care for people survived by colon cancer. Till then, patients can increase their physical activity after treatment, knowing that they are doing their share to prevent cancer from coming back.

“This is a highly exciting study,” Dr. of Dana-Farbar Cancer Institute. Jeffrey Mayorhrt said, who were not involved in research. Mayorhart said that this is the first random controlled test to show a decrease in recurrence of cancer and existing with exercise is better.

The prior evidence was based on comparing people active with the sedentary, a type of study that cannot prove the cause and impact. New studies held in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Israel and the United States compared those who were randomly selected for an exercise program instead, who received an educational book.

The Chief Medical Officer of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Dr. Julie Gralo said, “This is as a high quality of evidence, as you can achieve.” “I like this study very much because it’s something I am promoting but with less strong evidence for a long time.”

The findings were painted at the ASCO’s annual meeting in Chicago on Sunday and published by the New England Journal of Medicine. Educational research groups in Canada, Australia and UK funded the work.

Researchers followed 889 patients of healing cancer, who completed chemotherapy. Half was given information promoting fitness and nutrition. Others worked with a coach, met every two weeks for a year, then monthly for the next two years.

The coaches helped the participants find ways to increase their physical activity. Many people, including Terry Swan-Kolins, chose to walk several times a week for about 45 minutes.
