Preface
In 2018, the American College of Sports Medicine held the Second International, Multidisciplinary Roundtable on Exercise for Cancer Prevention and Control. During this 2-day meeting, attended by 39 international, multidisciplinary leaders in the field of exercise oncology, the most up-to-date science in the field was presented. Over the months that followed, as the three papers from the roundtable began to take shape, it became clear that many important insights shared at the roundtable meeting would not make it into the three papers. Around this time, Springer contacted me and asked if I would be interested in editing a book, on a topic related to exercise oncology. I saw this as an opportunity to document the current state of the field and point toward the future as well. Most of the presenters at the meeting were able to accept the invitation to contribute a chapter to this volume. Where that was not possible, additional experts have been identified. I hope the book is useful to any and all who are interested in advancing the growing field of exercise oncology. Hershey, PA, USA
