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 Lawrence Kushi were convened to develop the protocol for cancer survivors, which will be adapted for different cancer types.

Breast cancer survivors

The SLR for breast cancer survivors has been peer reviewed and is due to be discussed by the CUP Panel in June 2013.

The review will include evidence from randomised controlled trials and follow-up studies, and will focus on outcomes for which there is robust scientific evidence:

  • Total mortality
  • Breast cancer mortality
  • Second primary cancer

The protocol can be downloaded from our resource downloads section.
