Exercise coaching boosts colon cancer survival

In 2025, an international trial found that people treated for colon cancer were more likely to be alive eight years later if they had received long-term exercise coaching.

The question facing doctors now is less whether people with cancer should exercise, and rather how they should build it into routine care.

In the US, that shift is reaching hospital standards. From January 2027, breast cancer centers must screen patients' physical function and recommend exercise or physical therapy where needed.

Yet experts caution that the trial's findings may not apply to every cancer or every patient.
