Abstract

Background: With the growing advances in the field of oncology, more effective treatments have been implemented that provide more chances of cure patients. Cachexia and asthenia commonly coexist in the course of treatment and can persist for months or years. In this context, we propose some physical exercises correlating them to the patient's clinical status, based on the Ecog scale.

Discussion: We can make some considerations about the data described in cancer patients and adapt them to other patients.

Conclusion: We believe that the benefits of physical exercise practice in those patients undergoing cancer treatment are unquestionable, as well as in cancer survivors.
