The World Health Organization also supports this claim. Additionally, these and other organizations now recognize the role that activity can play in improving the quality of life for cancer patients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCancer Prevention and Management through Exercise and Weight Control \u003c\/b\u003eprovides us with the support necessary to make a \u003ci\u003ecall to action\u003c\/i\u003e. Itbrings together the contributions of world-class researchers to lay out the evidence and a plan of attack for coping with this crisis. The text begins by focusing on the research methods used in assessing the complex associations between activity, energy balance, and risk and prognosis. In comprehensive literature reviews, the authors consider the role of physical activity in the incidence of individual cancers, then explore the mechanisms that might explain this connection. They continue with a look at the relation between weight and cancer incidence, including a consideration of genetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearch is also provided linking physical activity and weight control to a cancer patient's quality of life and prognosis. The work concludes with ideas on how a plan of action might be implemented at the individual, clinical, and public health levels. It also provides guidance on incorporating exercise and diet recommendations into clinical oncology practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne McTiernan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1574449079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574449075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.28h x 7.50w x 1.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 71","brand":"Anne McTiernan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065716060415,"sku":"9781574449075","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06a403dd-10d5-49f4-8c56-218bf9cc6cab.jpg?v=1768676785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cancer-prevention-and-management-through-anne-mctiernan-9781574449075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
