Why Cancer Exercise Is So Very Important

The evidence is overwhelming.
The gap is unconscionable.

Cancer treatment is one of the greatest physical and emotional challenges a human being can face. Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and hormone therapy are powerful medicines. They also come with devastating side effects: fatigue that doesn't lift, muscle that wastes away, hearts damaged by the drugs meant to save a life, minds clouded by the very treatment fighting for clarity.

For decades, the instinct was to rest. To protect. To wait. That instinct was wrong.

"Exercise during cancer treatment is not optional. It is medicine. ASCO guidelines state that every cancer patient should be referred to exercise programming."

Over 2,800 randomized controlled trials have documented what happens when cancer patients move. Cancer-related fatigue drops by up to 50 percent. Muscle mass is preserved. Hearts are protected from cardiotoxic damage. Depression and anxiety lift. Quality of life improves in ways no medication alone can replicate.

Most remarkably: for breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer, regular exercise in survivorship is now linked to reduced recurrence risk and improved survival. Movement may not just help patients feel better. It may help keep the cancer from coming back.

And yet only 15 percent of cancer patients receive an exercise referral. The gap between what science proves and what patients receive is not a knowledge problem. It is an infrastructure problem. memios was built to close that gap.

Cancer-Related Fatigue

Affects 80% of patients in active treatment. Exercise reduces fatigue severity by up to 50% — outperforming every pharmaceutical intervention studied. It is the most effective treatment available.

Heart Protection

Cardiotoxic chemotherapy agents damage the heart. Exercise during treatment protects cardiovascular function and reduces the risk of long-term cardiac complications — a leading cause of non-cancer mortality in survivors.

Muscle and Strength

Cancer treatment causes sarcopenia — dangerous muscle loss that worsens prognosis. Resistance training during treatment preserves and rebuilds lean mass, improving treatment tolerance, surgical outcomes, and survival.

Mental Health

Depression and anxiety affect the majority of cancer patients. Exercise reduces both with effectiveness comparable to therapy and medication — and it gives patients something no drug can: a sense of agency over their own recovery.

Surgical Recovery

Prehabilitation before cancer surgery reduces post-operative complications, shortens hospital stays, and accelerates return to full function. The window between diagnosis and surgery is one of the most powerful opportunities to change outcomes.

For Cancer Patients

You were told to rest.
Science says move.

If you are going through cancer treatment, you may have been told to conserve your energy. To wait until treatment is over before thinking about exercise. That advice is wrong — and it may be costing you the relief you deserve right now.

Exercise does not drain your energy during treatment. It restores it. It does not add stress to your body. It helps your body handle the stress of treatment. It does not wait until you feel better to start working. It starts working the moment you begin.

You do not need to be fit. You do not need to have exercised before your diagnosis. You need a certified Cancer Exercise Specialist who understands your cancer, your treatment, and your goals — and a program built specifically for you.

For Hospitals and Cancer Care Facilities

The infrastructure your patients need.
The standard your institution requires.

ASCO guidelines say every cancer patient should be referred to exercise programming. The 2024 NAPBC standards require documented exercise recommendations for breast cancer patients. The Commission on Cancer accreditation is moving in the same direction.

The question is no longer whether to implement exercise oncology. It is how to do it efficiently, sustainably, and in a way that demonstrates measurable value to your administration, your payers, and your patients. memios answers that question.

  • Epic and Cerner EHR integration with structured referral pathways embedded at the point of care
  • NAPBC 2024 compliance: exercise documentation auto-generated for every eligible patient
  • Documented reduction in 30-day readmissions, post-surgical complications, and ED utilization
  • Prehabilitation program with documented ROI: avoided surgical complications offset program costs
  • Real-time outcomes dashboards for administration, accreditation, and payer reporting
  • 90-day pilot pathway with documented program data before committing to a full contract
  • The only platform covering all four phases of care: prehab, active treatment, post-procedure, and survivorship
The Business Case
  • $
    Readmission Reduction One avoided 30-day readmission saves $15,000–$30,000. A prehab program that prevents complications across your surgical census pays for itself rapidly.
  • +
    Quality Metrics Improved MIPS scores, HEDIS performance, and patient satisfaction ratings directly tied to your CMS reimbursement and payer contracts.
  • A
    Accreditation NAPBC 2024 compliance documentation auto-generated. Commission on Cancer standard preparation. Competitive differentiation in your market.

For Insurance Companies

Measurable outcomes.
Documented savings.
A partnership built on data.

Cancer is one of the most expensive conditions your plan manages. The direct costs are well documented. The downstream costs — extended hospitalizations, readmissions, emergency department utilization, long-term disability, and the cascading effects of poorly managed side effects — are significant and addressable.

Structured exercise oncology programs reduce these costs. The evidence is clear. memios provides the infrastructure, the outcomes data, and the partnership model to turn that evidence into measurable savings for your plan.

  • Documented reduction in 30-day readmissions, ED utilization, and post-surgical complications
  • Cardiac rehab billing for patients on cardiotoxic regimens — covered today, fully optimized by memios
  • PROMIS, FACIT-Fatigue, EQ-5D, and HEDIS outcomes data ready for your actuarial and analytics teams
  • Shared savings pilot structures — measure ROI before committing to expanded coverage
  • De-identified population-level cancer analytics dataset available under a Data Use Agreement
  • FHIR-native payer integration — eligibility verification, PA documentation, and outcomes delivery in your existing systems
  • Position your plan ahead of the CMS national coverage determination for exercise oncology services
