Cancer prevention through weight control – where are we in 2020?
Cancer survivorship and excess body fatness – where are we in 2020?
Events
On Saturday 27th April 2019, the NIHR Cancer and Nutrition Collaboration held a satellite to the European Congress on Obesity which set out to explore issues about future research on obesity and cancer occurrence (primary prevention) and recurrence (cancer survivorship) with a focus on intervention trials. It was hosted by The Centre for Research Into cancer Prevention and Screening (CRIPS), University of Dundee and chaired by Prof Bob Steele (Dundee) and Prof Elio Riboli (Imperial College) aided by Professor Andrew Renehan (University of Manchester).
Key issues that arose from discussions:
- Can we realistically consider weight loss trials for primary and or secondary prevention?
- How can we best explore causal association and reversibility?
- Who should our target population include and exclude?
- Can we develop and deliver the ‘right’ intervention?
- What is the optimal timing for intervention and length of duration?
- What are the most clinically relevant disease outcomes that can be realistically measured?
