Exercise prescriptions should now be standard of care for all appropriate oncology patients and physical activity should become a vital sign, similar to blood pressure.
The majority of people living with and beyond cancer are not regularly physically active, the new report states in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. There are 44 million cancer survivors worldwide and 18.1 million new diagnoses each year. One third to two thirds of people living with or beyond cancer are completely inactive.
