Increased physical activity may decrease cancer risk, with convincing evidence for breast and colon cancers, probable for prostate cancer, and possible for lung and endometrial cancers.

Physical activity and cancer prevention: etiologic evidence and biological mechanisms.

Physical activity is associated with a lower risk of several cancers, but only colon and breast cancer associations are supported by strong or highly suggestive evidence, while other cancer sites show less consistent evidence.

High physical activity after cancer diagnosis is associated with reduced cancer-specific mortality and recurrence risk, with potential benefits for molecular and genetic subgroups.

Physical Activity and Cancer Outcomes: A Precision Medicine Approach

Physical activity is associated with a larger breast cancer risk reduction in women who are normal weight or overweight than in women who are obese.

Does obesity modify the relationship between physical activity and breast cancer risk?

Physical activity is associated with lower risk of developing certain cancers, particularly colon and breast cancers, with a dose-response relation.

Physical activity and cancer prevention--data from epidemiologic studies.

Physical activity reduces the risk of several major cancer sites, with between 9% and 19% of cancer cases in Europe being linked to insufficient physical activity.

State of the epidemiological evidence on physical activity and cancer prevention.

Higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk of several cancers, while sedentary behavior increases the risk of colon, endometrial, and lung cancers, with obesity being an established risk factor for 13 cancer sites.

Physical activity is strongly associated with preventing colon and breast cancers, but more intervention studies are needed for colon and breast cancers, and better designed observational studies are needed for other cancer sites.
