Abstract

Building on the success of sport-based health-promotion initiatives in engaging hard to reach groups of men, Ms. Petrella will discuss her work examining the role of sport in delivering supportive care to young men after cancer. A sport-based, testicular cancer specific intervention piloted at the University of Toronto will be discussed, alongside data examining the impact of tailoring community-based health programs to young men living with and beyond cancer. 

 

Dr. Buffart will present results from the Predicting OptimaL cAncer RehabIlitation and Supportive care (POLARIS). With the POLARIS initiative, she built an international consortium and shared database with individual patient data from multiple randomized controlled trails that evaluated the effects of exercise interventions in patients with cancer. She used this data to study whether the effects of exercise interventions differed by patient characteristics or by specific exercise prescriptions. This knowledge will help to better tailor exercise interventions for patients with cancer.

Abstract (100-200 words)

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers globally and the main type of cancer related to modifiable lifestyle factors. Depending on the population, it is estimated that about 50 to 60% of colorectal cancer could be prevented with a healthy diet, sufficient physical activity and a healthy body weight.

Survival of colorectal cancer is mostly depending on stage at diagnosis. For early stages at diagnosis, however, lifestyle may also be related to progression of the disease. In contrast to the extensive knowledge on the role of food and nutrition in the aetiology of colorectal cancer, much less is known about the role of diet during and after treatment of colorectal cancer. Evidence-based lifestyle recommendations are necessary for the increasing number of colorectal cancer survivors, since these survivors may show a major interest in adjusting their usual habits.

Few prospective studies reported on factors associated with colorectal cancer recurrence and survival, while those studies were often hampered by the fact that dietary assessment was only retrospective, that patient groups were small and heterogeneous, or that other prognostic factors were not taken into account. Several large prospective studies are currently ongoing in different countries assessing dietary habits before diagnosis, at diagnosis, during and after treatment to further explore the association between nutrition and colorectal cancer prognosis, survival and quality of life.

This webinar will focus on the potential role of food and nutrition in colorectal cancer recurrence and survival. It will discuss the current evidence and the ongoing studies.
