The Role of Lifestyle Choices in Cancer Risk

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer remains a leading global health issue, and growing evidence highlights that lifestyle choices play a pivotal role in cancer incidence and outcomes. Unlike genetic predispositions, these behavioral factors are modifiable, offering actionable strategies to reduce cancer risk and improve patient outcomes. We are excited to announce this Special Issue, which aims to foster dialog, consolidate emerging findings across various fields, advance research, and offer comprehensive resources for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers.

We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and perspectives that address these themes. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Diet
• Physical activity
• Sedentary behavior
• Obesity
• Poor sleep
• Stress management
• Adverse environmental exposures
• Screening and early detection
