Exercise and Cancer: What the CHALLENGE Trial Means for Patients

May 12, 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET

We’ve long known that exercise is good for you — but new research shows it may actually help keep cancer from coming back. In the landmark CHALLENGE trial, colon cancer survivors in a structured exercise program had significantly lower rates of recurrence and death compared to those who received health education alone. And the implications extend well beyond colon cancer.

In this webinar, Dr. Kerry Courneya — a Professor at the University of Alberta and one of the world’s leading researchers in exercise oncology — will walk you through what these findings mean for you. You’ll also learn:

Why the CHALLENGE trial is a turning point for exercise and cancer care
How these results apply to other cancer types — and what they mean for prevention
Practical ways to start and maintain an exercise routine, whether you’re in treatment, in recovery, or focused on reducing your risk

This webinar is brought to you by the Anticancer Lifestyle Program, a program designed to help people reduce their risk of cancer by making healthy lifestyle choices.

About the presenter:
Kerry S. Courneya, PhD, is a Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. His research focuses on the role of exercise after a cancer diagnosis — including how it may help patients prepare for treatment, recover afterward, and improve long-term outcomes. He has published more than 600 peer-reviewed scientific papers and serves as study co-chair for the CHALLENGE trial. In 2023, Dr. Courneya was appointed an Officer in the Order of Canada for his contributions to the field of exercise oncology.
