美发现规律锻炼能够提高结肠癌生存率

 
 
一项最新研究发现，如果参与有规律锻炼，接受结肠癌治疗的患者能够极大降低疾病复发的风险，提高整体生存的机会。

Dana-Farber癌症研究所(Boston, MA, USA)的研究人员，检查了两组不同系列的资料得出了共同的结论。一项研究包括832例III期结肠癌患者(累及癌症周围的淋巴结，但是没有扩散出该区域的证据)，这些患者接受了手术和随后的化疗，是“癌症和白血病B组(CALGB)”美国国家临床试验的一部分。另外一个临床研究包括573例护士健康研究的患者，该项目由Brigham和妇女医院(New York, NY, USA)主持，每2年通过对121,700例女性注册护士的邮寄问卷调查进行跟踪研究。包括在当前研究中的护士在6个月以前接受了外科手术治疗I ～III期的癌症。
 
Exercise Improves Colon Cancer Survival
 
People who have been treated for colon cancer can substantially reduce the risk that the disease will return and improve their overall chance of survival by engaging in regular exercise, new studies have found. Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, MA, USA), examined two different sets of data to arrive at a shared conclusion. One study involved 832 patients with stage III colon cancer (involving the lymph nodes around the tumor but with no signs of having spread outside the area) who had received surgery and follow-up chemotherapy as part of the cancer and leukemia group B (CALGB) U.S. national clinical trial. The other study involved 573 participants in the nurses' health study, a project organized by Brigham and Women's Hospital (New York, NY, USA) which tracks the health of 121,700 female registered nurses by questionnaires mailed every two years. The nurses included in the current study had undergone surgery intended to cure stage I to III cancer at least six months earlier.
