Four databases (PubMed, PsychINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Web of Science) were searched for relevant papers up to October 2021. Of the 9586 references yielded by the literature search, 123 papers were included: 71 quantitative and 52 qualitative papers. Findings showed a large variety of determinants influencing lifestyle change after cancer diagnosis, with differences between lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol, sun protection, and multiple lifestyle behaviors) and findings from quantitative vs. qualitative studies. Findings demonstrate the important role of oncology healthcare professionals in promoting healthy lifestyle changes in cancer survivors. In addition, findings inform researchers involved in the development of health promotion programs about the methods and strategies they can use to promote healthy lifestyle changes in cancer survivors. Favorable lifestyle changes are expected to have beneficial effects on cancer risk and overall health in cancer survivors.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessACTIVITY MAINTENANCEADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPYBODY-MASS INDEXBREAST-CANCERDIETARY CHANGEEXERCISE INTERVENTIONHEALTH BEHAVIOR-CHANGEPHYSICAL-ACTIVITY PARTICIPATIONSMOKING-CESSATIONSOCIAL-COGNITIVE THEORYbarrierscancer survivorsdeterminantsfacilitatorslifestyle changepsychologicalpsychosocialsocialsystematic reviewSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingReview articleGeneral rights Copyright and moral rights for the publications made accessible in the public portal are retained by the authors and/or other copyright owners and it is a condition of accessing publications that users recognise and abide by the legal requirements associated with these rights. - Users may download and print one copy of any publication from the public portal for the purpose of private study or research. - You may not further distribute the material or use it for any profit-making activity or commercial gain - You may freely distribute the URL identifying the publication in the public portal" Take down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim.https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85128369578open61565165173706041https://research.tilburguniversity.edu/en/publications/bb4bb220-b5a1-4725-8418-e03abeb1a5d7https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/(c) Universiteit van TilburgHoedjes, Meeke§0000-0001-6887-2882Nijman, IngeHinnen, Chris
