A healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial for the long-term health of cancer survivors, a new American Cancer Society (ACS) guideline emphasizes.

“The link to a healthy diet and regular exercise in long-term cancer survival has become even more clear during the last several years,“ said Dr. Arif Kamal, chief patient officer at the cancer society. ”We encourage all survivors to work with their care team to develop a program tailored to their individual needs, especially if they are experiencing symptoms or side effects that interfere with their ability to eat well or be active.”
