Things You Should Know about the Science behind Exercise and Cancer

The conference Moving Beyond, which took place at the Champalimaud Foundation on April 3 and 4, 2025, was organised to gather world scientific leaders in the field of “exercise oncology”.

During the two-day conference, we interviewed a series of invited speakers on the benefits of physical activity for cancer prevention and treatment and asked speakers to share some of the key scientific advances in exercise oncology.

Watch the video and hear what they had to say — we hope you enjoy it!

In bowel cancer, enlarged lymph nodes can be a good prognostic feature

At the Champalimaud Colorectal Cancer Conference, last February, Gina Brown, from the Imperial College London, questioned the validity of the current staging strategy for colon cancer. Indeed, research shows that lymph nodes are not the main culprit in colon cancer spread, and can actually be a sign that the patient’s immune system is fighting back.
