Cancer diagnosis and treatment profoundly impact patients' physical and psychosocial well-being. Emerging research suggests a critical link between activity levels, sedentary behaviour and psychosocial outcomes in cancer patients. This review synthesizes existing literature on the relationship between activity, sedentary behaviour and psychosocial well-being in cancer patients. The findings highlight the beneficial effects of physical activity on psychosocial outcomes, including reduced anxiety, depression and improved quality of life, while sedentary behaviour is associated with poorer psychosocial functioning. Mechanisms underlying this relationship remain underexplored but may involve physiological, psychological and social pathways. Integrating assessments of activity and sedentary behaviour into routine clinical practice and implementing tailored interventions may optimize psychosocial outcomes and enhance overall well-being for cancer patients. Future research should focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions targeting activity and sedentary behaviour in improving psychosocial outcomes among cancer patients.
