Cancer & Exercise: Prevention & Recovery

Kenneth S. Pope, Ph.D., ABPP

The resources on this page are intended to help people with cancer, their loved ones, and their clinicians find recent research on the relationship between cancer and exercise, particularly the use of various kinds of exercise to reduce the risk of cancer, to decrease fatigue and other side-effects of cancer treatments, and to promote recovery. The 164 articles on this page were published from 2009 to the present.
