A growing body of evidence links diet and nutrition throughout the life span with breast cancer risk and prognosis after initial diagnosis and treatment. Chemical contaminants in
food may also play a role. This webinar will provide an overview of the literature establishing these connections as reviewed in "The Ecology of Breast Cancer: The Promise of Prevention and Hope for Healing" by Dr. Ted Schettler. Dr. Kim Robien will share
resources RDNs can use when communicating about the role of diet in breast cancer prevention and treatment. This webinar is being hosted collaboratively by the Oncology Nutrition DPG and the Hunger and Environmental Nutrition DPG.
Presenters: Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, Science and Environmental Health Network; Kim Robien, PhD, RD, CSO, FAND, Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, George Washington University
