Its safe to say that any breast cancer survivor whos been through treatment wants to avoid having to go through it again.The risk of breast cancer recurrence is highly individual and varies according to the type and the stage of breast cancer you had. But a new research review published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, or CMAJ, sheds light on how various lifestyle changes may be able to improve anyones odds of preventing a breast cancer recurrence.

The most important one: exercise. The review authors found it can reduce a breast cancer recurrence by 40 percent. According to the study authors, "physical activity has the most robust effect of all lifestyle factors on reducing breast cancer recurrence."

Exercise has a benefit thats separate from weight control. It regulates hormone levels, improves insulin resistance, and reduces inflammation, says study co-author Ellen Warner, M.D., a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and a medical oncologist at Torontos Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre.

Exercise can also help the depression, fatigue, lymphedema (swelling in the arm caused by removing lymph nodes), and stress that might accompany diagnosis and treatment,according toSusan Gilchrist, M.D., an associate professor of clinical cancer prevention and cardiology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
