Between 2009 and 2024, researchers followed nearly 900 colon cancer patients who had completed chemotherapy \u2013 half of whom received an informational booklet that encouraged them to adopt a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and exercise the other half of whom were also matched with a physical activity consultant for three years.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate

rate of 80% for the group with an exercise consultant compared with 74% for the group who just received the booklet.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"

\u201cThat magnitude is comparable to \u2013 and in many cases exceeds \u2013 the magnitude of benefit offered by a lot of our very good standard cancer drugs,\u201d said Dr. Christopher Booth, a professor of oncology with Queen\u2019s University and co-author of the new study. \u201cExercise really should be considered an essential component of treatment of colon cancer.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p

data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Work is still being done to understand why exercise can help reduce the risk of cancer, but experts say that it may have

something in the environment \u2013 either in the foods we eat, our lifestyles, the chemicals that could be in our foods, all sorts of different things \u2013 that are outside of just genetics alone that could be driving these rates,\u201d she said. \u201cSo it is incredibly important for us, as a field, to be thinking about how our diet and lifestyle impacts not just our risk of developing this cancer, but then how people fare after it.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\"
