Yoga could stop cancer spreading

Reading time: 1 minute

Gentle yoga could slow the spread of tumours in cancer patients and increase the chances of survival.

Hatha yoga reduces inflammation, which is linked to tumour growth and spread.

Just two 70-minute sessions started to reduce inflammatory markers in a group of 600 cancer patients, researchers from the University of Rochester discovered.

High levels of inflammation “may lead to a high chronic toxicity burden and increased risk of progression, recurrence and second cancers,” explained Karen Mustian, one of the researchers.
