Exercise and Cancer in Men

Men who exercise regularly appear more likely to survive cancer and less likely to get it, according to a paper in the British Journal of Cancer.

In a study of over 40,000 men ages 45-79, cancer was 16% less common among men who exercised 60-90 minutes each day than in sedentary men.

Among men who got cancer, those who exercised moderately were 33% more likely to be alive at the end of the seven-year study than cancer patients who didn't exercise.
