ABSTRACT
Cancer is a real public health problem in the world. The patients' functional cancer impact on patients needs a global care approach. Physical activity is recognized as supportive care because it benefits patients throughout the cancer care pathway. Indeed, it seems safe with scientifically proven benefits on physical functions and patients' quality of life. Promoting physical activity, asks for an improvement in the healthcare professional's knowledge and establishing rehabilitation programs through physical activity. A physical exercise program requires an assessment to adapt the program according to the patient's capacities and reactions. Physical activity interventions remain accessible to existing healthcare systems and are less costly than pharmaceutical interventions.
