The three-year trial, featured at the American Society of Clinical Oncology\u2019s annual meeting and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, is the first randomized controlled trial to directly link exercise with better outcomes for cancer survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers tracked 889 patients across five countries, finding those who participated in regular, coached exercise sessions had 28% fewer cancer recurrences and 37% fewer deaths than those who received only educational materials. Experts now urge cancer centers and insurers to consider exercise coaching as a standard part of care. \u201cNow we can say definitively exercise causes improvements in survival,\u201d said study co-author Kerry Courneya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full story at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2025\/06\/02\/exercise-cancer-recovery\/\">The Orange County Register<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A groundbreaking international study has found that structured exercise programs significantly improve survival rates and reduce cancer recurrence in colon&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exercise"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3104"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3106,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3104\/revisions\/3106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
