About The Study: In this analysis of 6 pooled cohorts, higher levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) after a cancer diagnosis were associated with lower risk of cancer mortality among people previously diagnosed with 1 of 7 cancers not commonly studied for their association with MVPA. These findings suggest that it is important for health care professionals to promote physical activity for longevity and overall health among people living with and beyond cancer.
