On 5th and 6th September 2019 the consortium met at the German Sport University Cologne to prepare the EFFECT and PERSPECTIVE studies. Both days were very productive and full of good discussions, starting with a refreshing early morning run. We are excited to include our first patients soon and look forward to our next consortium meeting that will take place in Gdańsk, Poland, in Spring 2020.

PREFERABLE researchers Dr. Anne May (UMCU) and Prof. Dr. Karen Steindorf (DKFZ) have been invited by consortium member Europa Donna to present at their 2^nd MBC advocacy conference in Milan, Italy. They presented on “Benefits of Physical Activity for women with MBC” (Karen) and “Apps for MBC: overview of what’s available and how they work; new one in development (PREFERABLE)” (Anne).

PREFERABLE’s consortium members and advisors attended the 66th annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in Orlando, Florida, USA. ACSM’s annual meeting brings together science and practice with leading experts and latest research on sports medicine and exercise oncology.
