Results The evidence supports that there are a number of biologically plausible
mechanisms whereby physical activity can influence cancer risk, and that physical activity is …

Physical activity (PA) is an important health behavior for many diseases, but its role in
cancer control has been understudied and underappreciated. In this chapter, we introduce …

Physical activity can play an important role in cancer prevention and control, but there is a
need to update the state of the science to best facilitate dissemination and implementation of …

Scientific evidence is accumulating on physical activity as a means for the primary
