Various pieces of research show that cancer may go undetected for well beyond a decade. However, a good understanding of an athlete’s body can allow him to practice or participate in competitions.
Many athletes continue to train to live with and beyond cancer. In some cases, athletes have also participated in competitions during treatment. Managing the side effects of the treatment is vital for a player after he has recovered from the deadly disease.
An article on the National Library of Medicine mentions the following:
“…Keen attention to fatigue is important at any point in the cancer spectrum to avoid overtraining and optimize the effects of training. Resources are introduced for providers to reference and direct patients to information for psychosocial support and instruction. The purpose of this paper is to present exercise considerations during and after cancer treatment for athletic cancer survivors.”
In addition to managing cancer, it is also important for an athlete to consult his doctor on a regular basis because early detection of cancer can help a player recover sooner and without extensive damage to his body.
Several researches in the field have shown that cancer may remain undetected for several years: sometimes well beyond ten years.
An article published on the Angiogenesis Foundation mentions:
“A study conducted by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine provides strong new evidence that malignant tumors may grow undetected in the body for a decade or more before they can be sniffed out by the most sophisticated blood tests currently available. The findings, which were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, emphasize the urgent need to identify and clinically validate more sensitive biological markers (biomarkers) that can detect tiny cancers in the body before they grow large enough to become dangerous.”
While cancer remains one of the most dreaded diseases, with proper care and treatment an athlete or an average Joe can come out victorious.
