There is no absolute preventive act which can prevent cancer ,may be it will reduce chances.

Currently, no exercise can prevent cancer.

However, there is evidence to show that the healthier your body (i.e. if you exercise) the quicker you recover. There are also exercise recovery programmes that many hospitals put patients on, and these have been show to speed recovery.

Go to www.after-cancer.com/exercise and there is lots more on this website on this subject.

Regular exercise can reduce the risk of cancer, nothing can be a guarantee prevention.

Basketball players can and do get cancer, just like everyone else.

unfortunatly nothing can prevent cancer if you are going to get it.exercise may stop things like Coronary Heart disease as you are exercising your heart muscle and keeping it strong. But keep exercising its good for you...

well exercise keeps you physically fit, but cancer is a genetic mutation. i do not see the connection of the two.
