Activité physique et nutrition après diagnostic d'un cancer

Survival after cancer diagnosis depends on the ability to achieve the most effective treatment and on the quality of rehabilitation after treatment. Nutritional care, which combines dietary management and physical activity, is necessary to maintain and improve body composition in order to optimize treatments and rehabilitation and must be integrated early in the individualized care program. Dietary management aims to prevent malnutrition. Physical activity aims to maintain muscle mass and function and, in patients in remission, to reduce excess adiposity; it definitely improves cancer-related fatigue and quality of life and may improve specific or overall survival.
