A major breakthrough led by #queensuhealth. Dr. Christopher Booth and the @CDNCancerTrials have shown that structured exercise significantly improves survival for colon cancer patients, a world-first trial in collaboration with @QueensuSCRI and @KingstonHSC. Full story ➡️…
#ASCO25 Many new drugs ➡️ welcome but marginal gains. 💰 Cost + ☣️ toxicity Exercise ➡️ marginal cost + negligible toxicity ✅ Evidence based intervention should be added to standard treatment recommendations No need to wait for regulatory approval! Do it now!
Presented at #ASCO25: A 3-year structured exercise program after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer improved disease-free and overall survival, physical functioning, and fitness, as compared with health education alone. Full CHALLENGE phase 3 trial results:…
The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on @NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival. Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial.…
Such a well deserved standing ovation for Chris Booth and the Challenge trial. These data are quite powerful. Much stronger evidence than what we saw in plenaries today. #ASCO25

Substudy G of @CDNCancerTrials IND.234 PC_BETS (V)—A ctDNA–directed phase II study of carboplatin in patients with previously treated #mCRPC. Presented by April Rose, MD, PhD, FRCPC @mcgillu. #ASCO25 written coverage by @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter > bit.ly/4kjbviZ…
This is amazing: the first large, randomized trial to show that exercise improves survival after cancer The benefit from the exercise program was like adding another cancer drug - without the side-effects
The G7 (@G7Canada, @G7CanadaSherpa) Science Academies have issued a joint declaration highlighting the importance of academic freedom, institutional autonomy, research integrity, security, and responsible conduct for the public good. 🔗 Read it here: bit.ly/3HdxZ6t
🚨 Landmark #ASCO25 result: a clinical trial finds that structured exercise after adjuvant chemotherapy lowers risk of mortality by 37 %. Evidence that movement reduces risk following cancer treatment (and likely saves lives). Published in the @NEJM ! @CDNCancerTrials @ASCO…
May is #SkinCancerAwareness Month. #CCTG honors all individuals affected by the battle against skin cancer, your courage is a true inspiration. #SolvingCancerTogether
Ontario’s $300M investment in teaching clinics is a big step toward fixing the primary care gap. Dr. Stephen Vanner, interim dean of #queensuhealth, says the funding will expand training capacity and improve access for patients. ➡️ bit.ly/43knyoS
