Exercise has been shown to improve numerous physical, psychosocial and clinical outcomes in those diagnosed with cancer. Although the benefits of exercise for cancer survivorship have been well-established, and there is a plethora of evidence stating that cancer survivors can safely engage in exercise training, participation rates remain low. Recent studies suggest that less than 30% of oncologists discuss exercise with their patients, fewer than 20% of oncologists refer patients to exercise services, and the number of cancer centers with established evidence-based exercise programs that providers can refer to are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this educational session is to: 1) present the current exercise guidelines for people living with and beyond cancer and the impact that meeting these guidelines could have on clinical outcomes; 2) discuss the potential of exercise to improve responses to adjuvant radiation therapy and the subsequent mechanisms enhancing these treatment outcomes; and 3) provide practical advice to clinicians on how to best incorporate exercise into cancer care treatment plans and survivorship programming.
