Exercise oncology comes of age

Exercise oncology is coming of age, with more than 30 000 peer-reviewed citations in the scientific literature and multiple guidelines published by major medical institutions based on strong evidence from randomized controlled trials. There is enthusiasm around the formation of a new international organization that will form a nexus for exercise oncology researchers, clinicians, and practitioners. The contents of this monograph document the progression of exercise oncology research and practice, laying the groundwork for the formation of the International Society of Exercise Oncology. The society will aim to be an organizing body to shepherd the field toward the goal of using exercise as standard of care in the setting of oncology in collaboration with existing medical organizations so that every patient can benefit.
