Exercise Intervention for Bone Metastasis: Safety, Efficacy and Method of Delivery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefits of exercise for patients with cancer are well-established, however, for patients with bone metastases, exercise as adjuvant therapy is underutilised due to concerns for safety, efficacy and other barriers such as the method of delivery.
