Impact of a Collaborative Program of Physical Activity of Newly-diagnosed Cancer Patients
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
During the last twenty years, the cancer overall incidence has been increasing in europe and developed countries, while diagnostic and therapeutic progress have contributes to a reduction in mortality. Currently, almost 4 million people are treated or followed for cancer in France. The physical, psychological and social after-effects are significant. Adaptated physical activity plays an important role in the rehabilitation process. Overall, meta-analyses carried-out with most frequent cancers demonstrate that physical activity practiced would allow an improvement in quality of life, tolerance to anticancer treatments and survival.
