EXCEL: Exercise for Cancer to Enhance Living Well

Cancer | Prostate Cancer | Head and Neck Cancer | Breast Cancer | Colon Cancer | Cancer Caregivers

Project EXCEL will provide community or online exercise programs to rural and remote and under-served cancer survivors, as well as encourage participants to become life-long exercisers. Exercise is an evidence-based self-management strategy that benefits all cancer survivors. However, most cancer survivors who live in remote or rural places don't have adequate opportunities to be involved in exercise programs that are tailored to their needs.
