Making Sure Exercise is Part of Cancer Care

At the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, Dr. Katie Schmitz chaired a session on ways to ensure that exercise is part of every cancer treatment plan. She also talked about how results of the CHALLENGE trial in colon cancer might apply to breast cancer. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Schmitz explain: strategies doctors can use to make exercise an integral part of cancer care how people can afford and stay motivated to exercise the results of the CHALLENGE trial, which found that three years of exercise after colon cancer treatment improved disease-free survival (how long people lived without the cancer coming back) and overall survival (how long people lived whether or not the cancer came back)
