Dr Kristin Campbell co-authored a paper that was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine paper detailing the effects of structured exercise after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer.
This trial, the first of its kind in the world, showed that people treated for colon cancer had a lower risk of disease recurrence and death when participating in an exercise program.
Participants in the exercise program had a 37 percent lower risk of dying and a 28 percent lower risk of recurrent or new cancer than those in the control group.
The findings have been shared by CBC News, the New York Times, NBC News, AP News, the Guardian, the Globe and Mail, Global News, CBS News, ABC News, and BBC News.
