US EditionExercise may benefit colon cancer patients as much as some drugs: Study
- Researchers presented a randomized controlled trial at the 2025 ASCO meeting in Chicago showing exercise reduces colon cancer recurrence after treatment.
- The trial followed nearly 900 stage II and III patients for a median of 7.9 years, comparing exercise consultants to health education materials alone.
- Exercise reduced cancer recurrence risk by 28%, with five‑year disease‑free survival rates of 80% versus 74% for controls, indicating post‑treatment physical activity is effective.
- Dr. Christopher Booth said the survival benefits are "comparable to and in many cases exceed" many standard cancer drugs, underscoring exercise as an essential treatment component.
- These findings suggest integrating exercise into colon cancer care may improve outcomes and that lifestyle factors like diet and inflammation are key areas of ongoing research.
