Abstract

Lavery et al. show that the association between exercise and risk of cancer varied as a function of organ site and amount of exercise. Exercise was also associated with a longevity benefit regardless of a cancer diagnosis or not. This study further highlights the importance of exercise as an effective cancer preventive strategy.
