# How does exercise help with cancer recovery? Exercise has been found to be one of the most effective treatment tools for cancer patients. It helps reduce fatigue, improve physical functioning, and reduces the risk of recurrence. Exercise can also help improve quality of life, reduce stress, and improve mental health. It can also help reduce the side effects of cancer treatments, such as nausea, pain, and fatigue. # Resources [Dr. Pamela Peeke](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+Pamela+Peeke)   [Dr. David Agus](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+David+Agus)   [Dr. Lise Alschuler](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+Lise+Alschuler)   [Dr. Donato Perez Garcia](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+Donato+Perez+Garcia)
