Exercise as Medicine: Transforming Cancer Care and Outcomes
Can exercise help reduce side effects and improve outcomes for patients in cancer treatment? At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, our physician-scientists are researching the answers to this question and more as part of their holistic, patient-first approach to cancer care.
Join us for a conversation with Dana-Farber’s Christina Dieli-Conwright, PhD, MPH, FACSM, CSCS, as she shares her exciting research on the benefits of exercise, and how prescriptive exercise can improve cancer outcomes in individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds diagnosed with cancer across their lives, from adolescents and young adults to older adults. The conversation will be moderated by Eli Van Allen, MD, Chief of the Division of Population Sciences and the Chandra Nohria Family Chair for AI in Cancer Research at Dana-Farber.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentation.
