The inspiring testimony of Dr. Suvam Banerjee, Clinician-Researcher in Oncology based in Kolkata, India

Sport is more than just physical activity – it is a source of resilience, a driver of hope, and a vital tool in the fight against cancer. Today, we are proud to share the story and commitment of Dr. Suvam Banerjee, a physician and Clinical Research Fellow in Oncology based in Kolkata, India.

A physician dedicated to cancer care

Dr. Banerjee has dedicated his career to both clinical practice and research, focusing on supportive care and improving outcomes for people living with cancer.

His professional mission is also deeply personal:

Cancer has touched my life personally and professionally, and that fuels my commitment to raising awareness about early detection, survivorship care, and the importance of community support.

Through his work, he aims to enhance patients’s quality of life not only through treatments, but also by promoting prevention, regular screenings, and holistic care.

I strongly believe in the healing power of movement: sports and regular physical activity build physical strength, reduce stress, and bring hope and resilience to patients and caregivers alike.

The healing power of movement

For Dr. Banerjee, movement is medicine. Physical activity is not only about strengthening the body – it helps reduce stress, fosters resilience, and builds a sense of community among patients, caregivers, and supporters.

By joining Move in Pink, Dr. Banerjee wants to inspire everyone to:

• Stay active,
• Prioritize cancer screening,
• Support survivors and those in treatment.

“Today I move in pink to honor survivors and to remind everyone that small actions — a walk, a run, a stretch — can make a big difference.”

A message in video

To make his message even more impactful, Dr. Banerjee recorded a short video for the Move in Pink community:

Join the movement

Like Dr. Banerjee, you too can be part of the movement. Walk, run, dance, stretch – whatever your activity, do it in pink. Every move counts in raising awareness, spreading hope, and showing solidarity.
