Keep Moving! The Importance of Exercise for Cancer Survivors

Research shows that increased activity in cancer survivors has many health benefits. Evidence-based guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week or 30 minutes, 5 days a week. Movement can improve fatigue and cardiovascular functions, decrease weight gain, and help improve anxiety.  

The Wellness After Cancer Survivorship program at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper is dedicated to helping survivors live their lives to the fullest throughout their cancer journey.

Please join Cooper expert Pallav Mehta, MD, Medical Oncologist/Hematologist for a free online presentation to discuss the importance of exercise and survivorship.

This one-hour program will include a Q&A session at the end of the presentation. We look forward to your participation.

Registration is required.
