Landmark Study Shows Exercise Is “Better Than Drugs” in Stopping Cancer Returning
A world-first randomized controlled trial (2025) with patients from the US, UK, Australia, France, Canada and Israel has found that a structured exercise regime after cancer treatment (with a personal coach and movement equivalent to three to four walks a week of between 45 and 60 minutes) can dramatically reduce the risk of dying (37% lower risk) and cancer returning or a new cancer developing (28% lower risk). It involved 889 colon cancer patients, 90% with stage three disease. It’s the first clear evidence that exercise is even better at preventing cancer recurrence and death than many drugs currently prescribed to patients.
