In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, hosts Drs. Rahul and Rohit Gosain are joined by Dr. Neil Iyengar, a medical oncologist from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to discuss the critical role of nutrition and exercise in cancer care and recurrence prevention.

They tackle common questions from cancer survivors about lifestyle modifications that can help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. With the current hype around various diets, the discussion delves into the evidence surrounding dietary patterns, exercise, and their impact on overall health and cancer outcomes.

Key topics included:

•⁠  ⁠The mixed evidence regarding diet and exercise in preventing cancer recurrence.
•⁠  ⁠The limitations of BMI as a measure of health and its implications in cancer studies.
•⁠  ⁠Insights from recent breast cancer trials on diet and survival rates.
•⁠  ⁠The importance of social determinants of health in dietary recommendations.
•⁠  ⁠Practical dietary guidelines and the significance of high-fiber, fruit-and-vegetable-rich diets.

Dr. Iyengar emphasized the need for ongoing research to provide more specific dietary recommendations for different cancer types and highlights resources available for patients and healthcare providers.

Join us for an informative discussion that aimed to empower cancer patients and healthcare professionals with knowledge about lifestyle interventions that can enhance quality of life and potentially improve cancer outcomes.
