What a lovely way it was to finish the year's conferences with #COSAIPOS2025! Great to have a few of our @UTSEngage @UTS_Health Cancer Survivorship Group members busy as always with giving invited talks, chairing multiple sessions, and presenting posters.

I’m often asked whose responsibility it is to provide cancer survivorship care. My answer? - It’s everyone’s responsibility (not a single health professional or profession)! This excellent paper by @realbowtiedoc, provides Top Ten Tips for Palliative Care: https://t.co/2cqdeyikX7

Fantastic to have been involved in this magnificent panel, facilitated by the eminent @JulieMcCrossin, and co-presented with colleagues Prof @Hagsie, @DrMonicaTang, and Dr Michael Krasovitsky, with a strong cameo from @Bogda_Koczwara fresh from the airport to summarise the field.

Our new paper, led by @CancerCareMASCC Survivorship Fellow, @NaomiTakemura - introducing the ‘treatable traits’ paradigm to cancer care: https://t.co/dnvJ760Umr

A treatable trait must:-
1. Have Clinical Relevance.
2. Identifiable and Measurable.
3. Evidence-based Interventions.

[Nicolas Hart @DrNicolasHart]

Looking forward to present on the important topic of cancer survivorship for #WolperJewishHospital, facilitated by @JulieMcCrossin, with an all-star Sydney cast including Prof @Hagsie, Dr Michael Krasovitsky, and @DrMonicaTang.

A standing ovation for #CHALLENGE trial at #ASCO25 - first in world to definitively show exercise reduces recurrence and improves survival:

“For every 16 people, exercise prevents 1 person from recurrent/new cancer”

“For every 14 people, exercise prevents 1 person from dying”

[Nicolas Hart @DrNicolasHart]

🚨Big News🚨from #ASCO25:

🟢 Definitive Phase III RCT
🟢 Structured Aerobic Exercise (3-years)
🟢 Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer
🟢 Post-Adjuvant Chemotherapy

💪🏽 Longer Disease-Free Survival
💪🏽 Improved Overall Survival
💪🏽 Less Cancer Recurrence
💪🏽 Less New Primary Cancers
