Exercise / Physical Activity
Exercise / Physical Activity is a supportive integrative therapy used to help with pain, stress, fatigue, sleep, mobility, emotional coping, treatment side effects, or quality of life alongside medical care. In cancer care, it should be evaluated by evidence level, intended use, safety, interactions, and whether it is being used as conventional treatment, supportive care, an experimental adjunct.
