This review suggests staying active after a prostate cancer diagnosis may support better survival.
Men who kept moving after a prostate cancer diagnosis had a much lower risk of dying. Looking at ten studies, those getting more activity had about a 31% lower chance of death from any cause. More intense activity was tied to an even bigger drop in risk.
