• Position statement. Part one: Immune function and exercise. (2011, background): “Protective effects of physical activity have also been observed for colorectal cancer patients (169).”
• Localised Colon Cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for Diagnosis, Treatment and Follow-up. (2020, background): “Lifestyle factors are likely to have an important impact on survival following adjuvant chemotherapy in either stage II or III patients, as reported for physical activity and nut consumption.(83,84) In addition, aspirin reduces the risk of polyp formation and may also improve survival after adjuvant”
• Exercise as medicine – evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in 26 different chronic diseases (2015, background): “According to these studies people who are physically active, at least to the extent proposed by general recommendations (www.cdc.gov) almost double their chance of survival (Holmes et al., 2005; Meyerhardt et al., 2006a, b, 2009; Peel et al., 2009; Ibrahim and Al-Homaidh, 2011).”
• American College of Sports Medicine roundtable on exercise guidelines for cancer survivors. (2010, background): “Finally, there have been two reported observational studies that suggest that recreational exercise after a colon cancer diagnosis may reduce the risk of colon cancer– specific and overall mortality (91,92).”
