Listen "Beyond Lifestyle: Why Exercise Must Be Prescribed in Oncology - EP18"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Oncology Revolution Podcast, we’re joined by Professor Robert Newton — a global leader in exercise oncology — for an eye-opening conversation about how physical activity is transforming cancer treatment. We explore the science behind exercise as a medical intervention, from myokines and muscle preservation to improved immunity and survival outcomes. Rob shares insights from decades of research, including a landmark study showing that exercise can extend survival by up to 37% — results comparable to leading chemotherapy agents. We also discuss the real-world challenges of bringing exercise into routine oncology care, the need for high-intensity and tailored programs, and why it’s time to stop seeing movement as optional. Rob outlines his vision for a precision exercise oncology model and shares practical strategies for clinicians to integrate exercise safely and effectively into cancer care.
