Dear Editor,
Exercise is associated with significant reductions in the recurrence and mortality rates of several common cancers including breast cancer. Breast cancer survivors who do effective excersise can potentially benefit from reduced levels of fatigue, and improved quality of life, physical function and body composition (ie, ideal body mass index). The amount of activity required to achieve effective prevention is moderate (eg, walking 30 minutes per day at 2.5 miles per hour) [1]. The American College of Sports Medicine dictates that exercise is generally safe for most breast cancer survivors, and inactivity should be avoided [2]. Exercise during and following treatment has been associated with reductions in breast cancer recurrence and disease-specific mortality rates of 30% to 60% [3]. However, many oncologists do not take into account the importance of the appropriate exercise recommendations in breast cancer survivors. Survivors with lymphedema, peripheral neuropathy and breast reconstruction should follow specific precautions. In conlusion, providing the oncologists with the training and tools needed to provide adequate exercise recommendations to breat cancer survivors is ‘must’ to improve patient outcomes.
