Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle-related factors, including following a healthy diet, avoiding excess weight, and being physically active, can decrease the risk of several types of cancer. Based on this evidence, the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research has issued 10 cancer prevention recommendations. Whether better adherence to those guidelines also results in lower risk of recurrence, lower mortality and/or better quality of life among cancer survivors is largely unknown. Yet, the lifestyles of the majority of cancer survivors are suboptimal and not in concordance with the cancer prevention recommendations.
In this Special Issue, researchers are invited to contribute their most recent results on lifestyle in relation to cancer outcomes, and on changes in lifestyle and cancer outcomes. Contributions may range from observational studies to intervention studies to systematic reviews. Examples are papers describing changes in adherence to the cancer prevention recommendations after diagnosis for a specific group of cancer survivors; papers reporting on the association of lifestyle-related factors with quality of life, survival or other clinical outcomes in cancer survivors; papers on the effect of lifestyle interventions on quality of life, clinical or other health-related outcomes in cancer survivors.
