How diet and lifestyle may increase or reduce your risk of developing secondary breast cancer, providing sound, evidence-based advice relevant to a UK population.
Research projects that are associated with our research theme of Prevention are shown below:
Therapeutic Targeting of Dormant Breast Cancer Cells
Prof Ingunn Holen, University of Sheffield
Prof Ingunn Holen aims to understand how breast cancer cells survive chemotherapy treatment by entering a dormant state and whether these dormant cells regrow to become secondary tumours.
Preventing Metastatic Disease by Targeting Cells that Survive Chemotherapy
Prof Ingunn Holen and Dr Lewis Quayle, University of Sheffield
Prof Ingunn Holen and Dr Lewis Quayle aim to further understand how breast cancer cells survive chemotherapy treatment by entering a dormant state and hope to target them in order to prevent secondary tumour regrowth.
DietCompLyf Study – Creation of a unique biobank of patient samples with associated diet and lifestyle data
Dr Miriam Dwek, University of Westminster
ABC’s first funded clinical study initiated by our founder Dr. Anthony Leathem and led by Dr. Miriam Dwek aimed to identify diet and lifestyle factors that affect the risk of breast cancer recurrence in patients.
