Popis: From a public health perspective, cancer is a major issue, and it contributes to a high economic and societal burden. Lifestyle-associated risk factors play a crucial role in cancer prevention. The present narrative review aims to summarize the existing evidence on the relationship of physical activity and sedentary behavior to cancer survival, including the evidence on mortality and other health-related outcomes. There is strong evidence that physical activity before, during, and after cancer diagnosis improves outcomes for breast and colorectal cancers. In addition, there is emerging evidence that reduced levels of sedentary behavior in cancer survivors are associated with improved outcomes. Future studies are needed to strengthen the evidence and to provide details on additional cancer sites. In the meantime, existing recommendations for physical activity and sedentary behavior in cancer survivors should be followed to improve the health status of cancer survivors.
