| Abstract | Introduction: Physical activity has long been suggested as a modifiable lifestyle factor that aids in the reduction of breast cancer risk (1-13). The relationship between physical activity and breast cancer survival is not as clearly defined as the association with risk.; Methods: We examined the association of lifetime recreational physical activity on breast cancer survival in a cohort of 133,479 women established in 1995-1996 who had a first primary invasive breast cancer after completion of the baseline questionnaire, 3190 women were included in this analysis.; Results: Summarized lifetime was strongly predictive of the risk of dying from breast cancer for patients irrespective of estrogen receptor status and was predictive of all causes of death for patients with ER- breast cancers.; Conclusions: These results suggest that physical activity prior to breast cancer diagnosis particularly, lifetime physical activity, may decrease the risk associated with death from breast cancer or from any cause. |
