Updated systematic review of the effects of exercise on understudied health outcomes in cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The American College of Sports Medicine provided guidelines for exercise prescriptions in cancer survivors for specific cancer- and treatment-related health outcomes. However, there was insufficient evidence to generate exercise prescriptions for 10 health outcomes of cancer treatment. We sought to update the state of evidence.

Results

While the evidence base for each outcome has increased, there remains insufficient evidence to generate exercise pres
