For premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer, physical activity may increase the time before cancer returns and spreads. In this study, people with hormone receptor-negative (HR-negative) breast cancer benefited from moderate exercise—more than those with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) breast cancer. This study found that outcomes improved when weekly exercise time was between 90 minutes and 5 hours. (Posted 11/14/24)
