Courneya KS. The emerging role of exercise as a cancer treatment. J Sport Health Sci 2024 Jul;13(4):443-444.  PMID: 36935041. Read here. 

Dr. Kerry Courneya writes "In this invited commentary, I discussed the growing interest and complexity in studying exercise as a cancer treatment. My primary point was to highlight the stark disconnect between the clinical treatment scenarios addressed by preclinical exercise studies versus those addressed by observational exercise studies. I further noted that both types of studies are currently limited in their utility to inform clinical exercise trials. To address this issue, I referenced a recent conference and subsequent publication that discussed the challenges and opportunities of conducting translational exercise oncology studies that better integrate animal and human research to maximize clinical advances. Finally, I briefly summarized a new framework that I have proposed to foster a more systematic and clinically-informed approach to the study of exercise as a cancer treatment."
