“Physical activity: disclosing the role in primary and tertiary cancer prevention"
We are excited to invite you to our third upcoming Scientific Webinar titled "Physical activity: disclosing the role in primary and tertiary cancer prevention" which will be held on 7 October 2025 at 12:00 (CET). This webinar is part of the Cancer Prevention Europe Early Career Network Scientific Webinar Series, designed to explore the latest developments in cancer prevention across Europe through a series of talks specifically targeted to public health researchers and professionals.
For this webinar, we are honoured to welcome Professor Karen Steindorf, Head of the Division of “Physical Activity, Cancer Prevention and Survivorship” at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and Full Professor at the Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg, Germany.

Professor Karen Steindorf is Head of the Division of “Physical Activity, Cancer Prevention and Survivorship” at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and Full Professor at the Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg, Germany.
She has led innovative research on the role of physical activity and exercise in primary and tertiary cancer prevention for more than 20 years, based on numerous randomized clinical exercise trials as well as large-scale observational studies, including integrated investigations on underlying biological mechanisms. Beyond that, she developed a strong research focus on frequent but still understudied patient-reported outcomes, such as fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive impairments, including implementation research with the goal to improve the quality-of-life of cancer survivors.
