BOSTON, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers have linked exercise and lower risk of death in prostate cancer patients.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, and the University of California, San Francisco, say prostate cancer patients engaged in three hours or more of physical activity weekly have a 61 percent lower risk of prostate cancer-specific death versus those with less than one hour of physical activity weekly.
The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, also indicates patients who walked 90 or more minutes per week at a normal to brisk pace had a 46 percent lower risk of dying from any cause than those who walked less than 90 minutes per week at an easy pace.
"Our results suggest that men can reduce their risk of prostate cancer progression after a diagnosis of prostate cancer by adding physical activity to their daily routine," lead author Stacey Kenfield of Harvard says in a statement. "This is good news for men living with prostate cancer who wonder what lifestyle practices to follow to improve cancer survival."
