measurementIn stage I-II colon cancer survivors, exercise was not associated with inflammatory biomarkers.

claimPhysical activity following surgical resection for colon cancer is associated with significantly increased disease-free survival, with inflammation hypothesized as the linking factor.

measurementA randomized, dose-response trial of 39 stage I-III colon cancer survivors found that cancer stage modified the association between aerobic exercise and inflammatory biomarkers, as there was no overall association with dose-response reductions in HsCRP or IL-6.

measurementIn stage III colon cancer survivors, 300 min/week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (high-dose) was not associated with inflammation, but 150 min/week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (low-dose) reduced HsCRP and IL-6.
