NCL Discover: Physical Activity as "Medicine" in Cancer

Physical activity has significant health benefits for our hearts, bodies and minds, but leading a more active life can also reduce our risk of developing certain types of cancer. In addition research has shown that regular exercise can play a vital role in cancer recovery and can lower the risk of cancer returning.
In this Newcastle Discover lecture, Dr Sam Orange discusses the importance of physical activity and the impact it can have in the prevention and recovery phase of a cancer diagnosis.
Dr Sam Orange is a Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Newcastle University, a member of the Newcastle University Centre for Cancer and the Deputy Director of Research in the School of Biomedical, Nutritional and Sports Sciences. His research focuses on the role of physical activity in cancer prevention and survivorship, involving both laboratory-based and clinical research.
