Breast cancer survivors who exercise regularly live longer

Following physical activity guidelines from the US Department of Health and Human Services can improve clinical outcomes for women with high-risk breast cancer - i.e., breast cancer that is likely to recur or spread. The latest guidelines recommend engaging in at least 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity or 1.25 to 2.5 hours of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity weekly. The study shows that breast cancer survivors can participate, as well, with life-prolonging effects.
