Abstract
Cancer treatments like surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and target therapies can have various side effects on patients, affecting their health and quality of life. Exercise has been shown to be effective in reducing these side effects by regulating hormone levels, improving immune function, and reducing inflammation. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a specific exercise regimen for cancer patients, including cardiovascular exercise and strength training. It is important to tailor exercise programs to each patient's needs and adapt the intensity based on their condition and disease stage. Understanding the physiological effects of cancer treatments is crucial for developing effective exercise programs that benefit patients. Motivating patients to stay active and adhere to exercise routines long term is also essential for their overall well-being.
