Abstract
Cancer rehabilitation is the crucial process by which cancer patients regain their physical abilities and enhance their quality of life through diverse methods following treatment. As the cure rate of cancer continues to rise, the need for postoperative rehabilitation is becoming increasingly evident. This is particularly crucial for enhancing patient survival rates and minimizing the chances of cancer recurrence. Exercise intervention has become increasingly popular and widely used as a proactive rehabilitation therapy in recent years. This article examines the influence of exercise intervention on the recovery and survival rates of cancer patients after surgery. It specifically investigates the effects and mechanisms of various exercise interventions, such as aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility training, on patients with lung cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and other forms of cancer. Exercise therapies before and after surgery can greatly boost patients' physical abilities, decrease postoperative problems, minimize hospital stays, and improve overall quality of life. In addition, implementing exercise intervention can enhance the long-term survival rates of patients. Future studies should investigate the most effective exercise programs and their suitability for various types of cancer, with the goal of offering better evidence-based clinical advice.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Surgery (IJS) has a broad scope, encompassing all surgical specialties. Its primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of crucial ideas and lines of thought between and across these specialties.By doing so, the journal aims to counter the growing trend of increasing sub-specialization, which can result in "tunnel-vision" and the isolation of significant surgical advancements within specific specialties.
