I’m really looking forward to the @LungCommunity LC Patients Symposium promises to be a 🔝event, top speakers providing useful practical information and of course time to meet others who have been impacted by the disease. Do you know someone who would benefit from attending???

🚨 Exercise is no longer optional, it is essential!
One of the most impactful studies at #ASCO25
🏃♂️ The #CHALLENGE trial (LBA4319) proves that structured exercise after chemo in stage III colon cancer is not just lifestyle—it’s life-saving.
📊 5y DFS: 80.3% vs 73.9%
❤️ 8y OS: 90.3% vs 83.2%
📉 Mortality risk ↓ by 37%

Excited to share our paper on exercise and frailty after chemotherapy just published in a special collection in J Cancer Survivorship. Even light exercise can reverse aging, but strength training does even more! link.springer.com/article/10…
