World Cancer Research Fund Announces New Breast Cancer Research Programme

The CANDO programme is a major step forward in tackling this knowledge gap. This wide-reaching research programme will look at how fat and muscle levels (body composition), as well as diet, weight and physical activity, are associated with a patient’s response to breast cancer treatments, including: chemotherapy, biological treatments, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy surgery.

It builds on the success of a study WCRF funded that recruited 300 patients with early-stage breast cancer across 8 NHS hospitals in the UK.
