Research has indicated exercise may improve the prognosis of cancer, but experts haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly why.

One out of every nine American men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is survivable, but once it spreads, survival rates plummet.
