One theory about exercise and cancer is that, primarily for women, estrogen is stored in fat cells. Some cancers are estrogen-sensitive and grow faster with estrogen being high. So some researchers believe that when women lose excess weight, they can reduce their cancer risks.

All the diets I found online for cancer seem to be the same whether you have Ovarian Cancer or Lung Cancer.

They seem to agree you need to eat more fruits and vegetables, grains and stay away from red meat.

How to prevent all types of cancer?

You cannot guarantee prevention of all types of cancer, but you can lower the risk of many cancers by following healthy lifestyle habits: Avoid tobacco in all forms and avoid secondhand smoke. Maintain a healthy weight and stay physically active. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, and other minimally processed foods. Limit processed and red meat and highly processed foods. Limit or avoid alcohol. Protect your skin from excessive UV exposure and avoid tanning beds. Get recommended vaccines, such as HPV and hepatitis B vaccines, when appropriate. Practice safe behaviors to reduce the risk of infections linked with certain cancers. Reduce exposure to harmful substances such as asbestos, certain workplace chemicals, and unnecessary radiation. Attend recommended cancer screenings based on your age, sex, family history, and individual risk factors. Key point: A healthy lifestyle can reduce cancer risk, but it cannot eliminate it completely. Early detection and regular medical check-ups are also important.
