Our Global Network is dedicated to funding research and health education programmes into the links between food, nutrition, physical activity, body fatness and cancer risk.
Cancer survivors
The research evidence on cancer survivors is expanding and it is important that any protocol captures the new evidence and continues to detect changes in this into the future.
A group of experts chaired by Dr Larry Kushi were convened to develop the protocol for cancer survivors, which will be adapted for different cancer types.
Breast cancer survivors
Work has started on adding research papers to the cancer survivors section of the CUP database. The review will be conducted in three parts to look in women who have had breast cancer at the effect of food, nutrition, body fatness and physical activity on:
- Cancer mortality and recurrence
- Mortality from other diseases
- Quality of life
The evidence on all three parts is expected to be discussed by the CUP Panel in 2013.
The protocol can be downloaded from our resource downloads section.
