Mark Lawler on CHALLENGE Trial Presented at ASCO 2025։ Structured Exercise Improves Survival in Colon Cancer
Mark Lawler, Chair in Translational Cancer Genomics and the Associate Director of Postgraduate Studies at Queen’s University Belfast, shared a post on X by Pramesh CS, Director of the Tata Memorial Hospital, adding:
“Practice changing clinical study (CHALLENGE) that rightly got a standing ovation but wrongly didn’t get a plenary ASCO.
Co-led by colleague and The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research researcher Vicky Coyle (well done Vicky) and common sense oncology leader and fellow jazz fan Chris Booth.”
Quoting Pramesh CS‘s post:
“Wonderful to see this out in the NEJM today.
Structured exercise improves survival in colon cancer!
Do come to see Chris Booth present in hall B1 at 4:30 PM today, ASCO.
Much deserved standing ovation for this presentation. Demonstrates
1. Research should ask questions that matter to patients
2. Global relevance (cost effectiveness, implementability) matter
3. Academic research groups can achieve a lot
Why wasn’t this at the ASCO plenary?”
