title: Exercise Recommendations for the Management of Symptoms Clusters Resulting From Cancer and Cancer Treatments.
abstract: To review existing exercise guidelines for cancer patients and survivors for the management of symptom clusters.
  
  
  
  Review of PubMed literature and published exercise guidelines.
  
  
  
  Cancer and its treatments are responsible for a copious number of incapacitating symptoms that markedly impair quality of life. The exercise oncology literature provides consistent support for the safety and efficacy of exercise interventions in managing cancer- and treatment-related symptoms, as well as improving quality of life in cancer patients and survivors.
  
  
  
  Effective management of symptoms enhances recovery, resumption of normal life activities and quality of life for patients and survivors. Exercise is a safe, appropriate, and effective therapeutic option before, during, and after the completion of treatment for alleviating symptoms and symptom clusters.
