Cancers rates are on the rise in millennials for whom obesity is a risk factor, according to a new study.

This is an excellent piece reviewing the influence of dietary modification on cancer therapy efficacy. We will be opening a trial soon in metastatic breast cancer testing this hypothesis. More to come.
A Review in Nature discusses reports that suggest that diet modification can alter the efficacy of cancer therapies. The results discussed indicate dietary habits of a patient must be taken into account during cancer research and therapy.

A call to harness the potential therapeutic effects of dietary interventions in cancer. This is an outstanding review from
@MarcusDGon
and
@CantleyLab
which masterfully establishes the rationale and need for rigorous trials in humans.
"We are on the precipice of a revolution in the way we treat patients with
#cancer
. Several rigorous preclinical studies have shown that dietary interventions enhance anticancer therapy & improve outcome"

PreHAB study: preoperative physical activity (mostly unsupervised) for ~1 month favorably modified breast tumor gene expression. Bodes well for our upcoming trial of 6 month supervised tele-exercise + plant-based diet to optimize breast microenvironment.

Thank you
@ConquerCancerFd
for the early support of our research program which has now grown and even extended into the
@MSKCancerCenter
Healthy Living Program.
The impact of the
@ASCO
foundation on patient care and science is incredible!
The link between obesity and breast cancer has long been established, but
@Neil_Iyengar
believes more information about diet and health could answer questions about

prevention and treatment. Learn more:
