Strengthening Cancer Care Through Exercise
On August 3, 2026, Renaissance Co., Ltd., headquartered in Sumida, Tokyo, formalized a partnership with the Saitama Cancer Center located in Ina Town, Saitama Prefecture. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive exercise support for cancer patients, creating a robust framework to ensure safe post-rehabilitation exercise opportunities. By doing so, the agreement seeks to improve the health and quality of life (QOL) for cancer patients and contribute positively to the local community.
Background of the Agreement
Renaissance strives to realize its long-term vision as a "Well-being Co-Creation Company" in the age of 100-year life expectancy. This vision encompasses the establishment of cancer-specific exercise facilities like the Renaissance Exercise Support Center, offering comprehensive support throughout the cancer treatment journey—before, during, and after treatment.
The Saitama Cancer Center, designated as a "Prefectural Cancer Treatment Coordination Hospital" by the government, leads cancer treatment efforts in Saitama Prefecture. With a commitment to providing advanced cancer care and creating a patient-friendly environment, the center implements diverse initiatives like the Cancer Exercise Outpatient program to support the physical health of cancer patients.
Recent studies highlight the importance of rehabilitation and sustained physical activity in improving patients' functional recovery and QOL during and after cancer treatment. By merging the advanced medical capabilities of the Saitama Cancer Center with Renaissance's expertise in exercise support and behavioral change, this partnership aims to offer a secure and reassuring environment for patients to continue exercising even after discharge or during outpatient visits.
Purpose and Main Activities of the Agreement
The primary goal of this agreement is to promote exercise for patients requiring it, thereby enhancing their health and improving their conditions. Below are the main collaborative activities outlined in the agreement:
1.
Information Exchange and Support for Patients: Cancer patients identified by the center as needing exercise will be encouraged to utilize Renaissance's facilities. A systematic approach will ensure safe exercise execution by sharing necessary information and support, following their consent.
2.
Online Exercise Consultation Services: For patients who receive information from the center, accredited cancer exercise instructors from the Osaka International Cancer Center will conduct free online consultations. These specialists will propose personalized exercise options based on each patient's condition and needs, and for those wishing to continue, provide guidance on various services and exercise support programs.
3.
Continuous Collaboration: To enhance patients' QOL, there will be ongoing information sharing and collaborative initiatives.
