Abstract

Recreational physical activity improves the prognosis of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Numerous studies reveal that the level of prediagnostic recreational physical activity has a linear relationship with survival after diagnosis. Risk of recurrence of cancer also drops in women who exercised prediagnosis. Women who continue or start exercising after diagnosis also receive a significant protective benefit from mortality and recurrence. However, the physiological mechanisms of and the influence of menopause on these prognostic benefits have yet to be clearly defined.
