Physical activity interventions for Asian Americans in cancer prevention and control: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Despite the well-documented benefits of physical activity (PA) for cancer prevention and control, most PA interventions have not been tailored for Asian Americans (AsA), who face rising cancer incidence and a slower decrease in cancer mortality compared to other racial groups. This study aims to systematically review the PA interventions designed for AsA to prevent or manage cancer outcomes. A systematic search of five databases identified interventional studies with PA-promoting components in Asian American adults for cancer prevention or control, published before June 27, 2025, following the Cochrane Collaboration's PRISMA guidelines. The systematic review identified 860 articles, with five studies meeting inclusion criteria, including four focused on cancer prevention and one on cancer
