Strong muscles and better fitness cut cancer patients' risk of death by up to 46%, new study shows.

A new study finds that cancer patients with stronger muscles and better fitness have a significantly lower risk of death, up to 46% less likely compared to those who are less fit. The research, involving nearly 47,000 patients, suggests that muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness are crucial for survival, especially for those with advanced cancer. The findings indicate that incorporating muscle-strengthening activities into cancer treatment could improve life expectancy.
