N2 - Cancer remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Despite improved survival rates, many survivors face treatment-related side effects that compromise recovery, increase disease risk, and lower quality of life. Over the past 20 years, exercise oncology has gained recognition for improving physical, psychological, cognitive, and clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Epidemiological studies have also demonstrated that cancer survivors can reduce their recurrence risk when participating in regular exercise. Due to this growing evidence base, physical activity and exercise are now recommended by major cancer organizations across the continuum of care—before, during, and after treatment. This Editorial introduces the Special Issue on Exercise Oncology in JSAMS Plus, features nine innovative articles that explore various cancer types, interventions, and outcomes.
